Just adding a "me-too" here, like mike I assumed it was something on my end (didn't bother investigating).

Jim could you please send over the bz number so that we may all pitch in with information ?

seems there is a ipv6 slowdown with comcast's dns servers. if you use firefox
you can stop ipv6 lookups by opening a tab in firefox and typing:

about:config

type:
network.dns.disableIPv6;false
set it to true and your dns lookups will take off.

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.

Interestingly, my FF has this set to True already, and I'm sure I never
touched it.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.  Patrick O'Callaghan

That change in Firefox about:config did it.   I have pulling my brains 
out since last Tue. over that frustration.

Poc, I don't think we can trust you to get into ABOUT:CONFIG

THANK YOU.

You can always pass around the fix to do a "yum install bind". ;-)

There really isn't a good reason to use someone else's broken
nameserver.
