Another issue in addition to ipv6 is how the resolver-lib handles search domains. I found I could avoid the delay by removing the "domain" and "search" statements from /etc/resolv.conf. In this particular case there's a broadband-router which put either the providers domains or a configured local alternative in the DHCP-response. There's no way to make it drop the options altogether when it's not used properly. Thus a solution (in addition to a local caching resolver etc described above) is to remove these options (domain-name and domain-search) from the list of options the dhcp-client (/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf) asks for. This problem is easily identified as described in #82 above.
