Is your initial DNS lookup really slow? If so, remove ipv6 by adding
install ipv6 /bin/true
to /etc/modprobe.conf
and you may well see a big improvement. If not, use tcpdump to watch what is going on with ppp0 when you do a slow dns lookup.

Yes it seems like my DNS is slow, hence the original inquiry! :-)
I will try this out as well as Ben's caching-nameserver suggestion... just one question, is the syntax of your instruction correct? By adding "install ipv6 /bin/true" to my /etc/modprobe.conf, that will UNinstall ipv6?? It looks backwards, but maybe I am misinterpreting it... :-)
Thanks for your help!
