freebsd stable - Jun 2004 - Annoying delays appeared while connecting to the server

Hello freebsd-stable,

  I noticed it about a week ago. My local hosts have suffering
  such delays while connecting to the (imho) tcp-wrapped services,
  namely ssh, smtp, mysql.
  It looks like the addresses to names resolving. I don't need to resolve my
  local names or addresses now. There was not any delays early.
  But they have appeared without any visable reason.
  
  What could to involve a such system behaviour?
  How should I return my system to previous state?

P.S.  I will not want neither to edit the /etc/hosts file nor create
      and maintain dns-zones for the internal hosts.

Thanks in advance

I don't see any changes to the tcpwrappers services. Check resolv.conf;
maybe one of the listed nameservers is down or unresponsive?

You really should have machines in DNS or /etc/hosts, but if you don't
want to maintain that, then you suffer the consequences.
