I agree to Jo's solution for getting around the problem (I also added
one set of rules with javascript regexps on the host variable to allow
for direct use of IP adresses in the URL).

But I must disagree with his last comment, as it is my understanding
that isInNet performs a dnsResolve call to get the IP adress in order to
check it against the network mask.

Sad to hear that this bug is still live in 4.0...

Damn, now even Wikipedia says :
"The function dnsResolve (and similar other functions) performs a DNS lookup 
that can block your browser for a long time if the DNS server does not respond."
