Name translation takes forever

[Ubence Quevedo]

I just installed Fedora Core 1.  First off, I have DSL, and I have edited
resolv.conf to access the appropriate nameservers for my service.  When ever
I go to a web browser [Mozilla for example] or ping a website from the
command line, it takes about 5 seconds for it to resolve the name to it's IP
address, and then receive the data.  This is really a pain when a website is
pulling multiple images from multiples servers and it has to resolve each
hostname!  Does anyone have an idea where I can start to look to fix this?
Thanx in advance!
