    I use bellsouth also. I noticed the same issue. I issued a dig 
command on bellsouth.net and changed my DNS to use some of the other 
servers listed and got faster loookup. I did notice that the bellsouth 
server listed in Miami is real slow about DNS response times.

&gt; I have noticed the DNS slowdown as well.  I have statically entered my 
&gt; network information for now.  First I was using what seemed to be the 
&gt; Miami DNS server, that too seems to bog down occasionally.
&gt; Since that I've started to use a completely different DNS server that 
&gt; I am not at liberty to disclose.  With the bellsouth DNS servers I've 
&gt; even had sites the refuse to resolve at all, even with the delay.
&gt; I live on the south side of town if that makes any difference.  Not 
&gt; sure of the CO.
