What's you resolv.conf look like? I was getting long lookups until I
removed the 'domain xxxxx' and 'search' fields. Now it just
'nameserver' fields.
Also try 'strace -t <pgrm>' to see where the time is being taken up. On
the target system try 'strace -tfp `pidof inetd`'. I used a local LAN
ftp as a test where the local machines all had /etc/hosts entries.
Rgds,
