in your /etc/resolv.conf file. It seems as though the default timeout
for Linux is 5 seconds and some dns servers don't seem to catch Linux
requests the first time. Also make sure you have ipv6 disabled. The ipv6
disable cut time on some mandrake systems I installed from about 45
seconds to resolv to about 12 seconds - timeout cut it to virtually
nothing.
Interesting. This does seem to result in a large improvement. From
about a 15 second wait for cnn.com and typical sites down to 2-3 seconds.
Thanks.
Still not quite right though, as Windows loads many sites too fast to
time.
AIUI Windows caches DNS (including transient fails).
If your ISP DNS servers like windows lookups better than Linux you could
use someone elses servers.

I had similar problem. I have Roadrunner with Debian/unstable. The |
problem started when i decided to run my own DNS server. it will be
crawling if i visit a web site for the first time, and after that
everything will be fine and this happened everyday. finally i decided to
shutdown my dns server and started to use the dns server of the
roadrunner. i don't know whether this answers your question or not, but
my opinion is there is nothing wrong in using the dns servers of your ISP.
