I've noticed that it's like a small percentage of folks taht have the
same problem as me. I'm beginning to think we have something in our
configs that is the same throught though I haven't tacked it down yet as
to what that is.

DNS runs fine. Like I said this slowdown wasn't happening under 6.1,
only after i went up to 6.2. I had the same problem with Slackware 6.9B
which disappeared when i went to Slackware 7.0 and also under RH 5.1
when i went to 5.2. Debian was doing it as well under the ppp-2.3.8
until I upgraded that to 2.3.10.

Nope, I'm DHCP here so that gets rewritten ever reboot. Only things in
there are the DNS servers from the upstream and my added teritary.
