Scott - there are a couple current threads here that may help. Check out 
the threads named "disable IPV6?" and "Why is Web Browsers so slow at 
Resolving Hosts?".

But your answer may be as simple as adding this line:

alias net-pf-10 off

to the file /etc/modprobe.conf. Add it right after the line that says 
"include /etc/modprobe.conf.dist". Then you'll need to reboot and see if 
that helps.
