no, not to me. Ping only starts counting time once it's resolved the
name (I think), so if your ping times are normal, but the delay between
pings takes a long time, then there's possibly a name resolution
problem... or at least that's what I've seen in the past...
That makes sense. My host has fixed some kind of a problem on their
end, so hopefully that was the cause of this. Thanks a lot for
everyone's help.
