if you use ssh, create an alias for ssh that looks like: alias ssh='ssh -4' in your .bash_profile, this will force using only ipv4 dns lookups. I don't like passing on these workarounds because you may forget what you did when the it is fixed, but maybe log it somewhere so you can undo when this is fixed.
You can always pass around the fix to do a "yum install bind". ;-)
