    Yes it seems like my DNS is slow, hence the original inquiry! :-)

    I will try this out as well as Ben's caching-nameserver suggestion...
    just one question, is the syntax of your instruction correct? By adding
    "install ipv6 /bin/true" to my /etc/modprobe.conf, that will UNinstall
    ipv6?? It looks backwards, but maybe I am misinterpreting it... :-)

    Thanks for your help!
