Hi Guys,

I have been having this problem aswell on my desktop and two laptops,
with Dapper, Edgy, and Feisty.

I think networkmanager is assigning the IP of the router as the top DNS
server in resolv.conf. If I leave it there, DNS lookups are really slow,
whatever the application (browser, imap, apt-get etc), adding 10 to 15
seconds to the resolution time, and also hindering multiple simultaneous
requests from succeeding, especially say opening websites in different
tabs in quick succession. Removing this IP from the config file fixes
this problem, and resolutions occur in a second or so.

If you take a look at Wireshark captures, it seems that there may be a
problem with IPv6 which is enabled by default in Ubuntu, and particular
routers. I was told on #ubuntu+1 that this is likely to be the result of
"your router's DNS responds to AAAA requests with A results and this
seems to delay ubuntu from trying an A lookup", but I don't really
understand such things.

I really hope that you can fix this, and do let me know if there is more
info that I can supply?

Thanks,

Tom
