Keeping it simple with HTTP (using Firefox), a site like smh.com.au

takes a minimum 11 secs to load and regularly 20+ secs. This is
from behind the linux box. However, if I attempt to load smh.com.au
from the linux box, it loads in 3secs flat. I don't have squid or
any proxying server running myself - at least not that I have
personally configured.
Does it sit there for 11 seconds, then load all of a sudden, or does
it start loading right from
the start?
I'm wondering if firefox is doing IPv6 lookups and failing. If you
want to test, disable IPv6 in firefox (about:config) or use the same
nameservers as the linux router
