I can't see any redhat sites in the DNS. Other DNS queries return much faster than those to redhat. Even adding a dot to the end of the name to stop the DNS search from trickling down the usable domains does not seem to speed things up.
Queries to non-existant hosts (www.somedumbhost.com) come return in a timely manner. This may be a problem with Redhat's ISP Brad
