I have had a similar experience with my Debian laptop and my Powerbook. 
Do you have 'resolver' installed?  Have you taken a look at
/etc/resolv.conf?  Mine gets dynamically created by 'resolver' and it puts
in a line like:

    domain walngs01.pa.comcast.net

Which is followed by my nameserver lines.  I have replaced this line with
'search nameserver' and the tremendous lag and timeouts stop.  That is
until I reboot and 'resolver' kicks in again.
