Actually, it sounds like a problem I had a while ago.  My ISP changed my
IP address recently.  One of the consequences was that one of the two
DNS servers I had hard coded into my computer was no longer available. 
As a result, the first DNS server would be tried and then after timeout,
the 2nd server would be tried and return the IP address.  Fire up
Ethereal and take a look.
