I know its been a long time since I brought this up, and I thank those who responded. At this point I sheepishly admit I was unable to solve the problem even with the advice provided, and now I am looking to solve it (beyond changing "UseDNS" to "no").

In the case of my workstation at work, for example, I added the IP address to /etc/hosts and I still have obnoxiously slow lag while the system fails to pull off the lookup. If I am logged in, and I run 'who' I get the IP address returned; though running 'w' returns the host name specified in /etc/hosts.

What am I forgetting to check?

I have also found that if I go from my FSBD system, to the same FSBD system (via the external IP address or the domain name I use for it), I get the same lag. It appears that my system is not able to successfully look up its own IP address (which presumably should work out to an address from my ISP).
