Ben - I wonder if it is a problem with ECN on the nameserver or somewhere
on the route? First check to see if you have ECN turned on in your kernel:

cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn

If you get a 1 back, it is turned on. As a test, turn it off by:

echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn

and see if the slow ping still happens.

BTW, Ian Gulliver wrote a useful program called ecncheck which tests ECN 
along a route. There is also a companion program called ecnmx which
compiles from the same tarball that does the same for mailservers. Look for
it on freshmeat.net
