That means something is looking up names in domains or addresses in reverse 
zones that your private server isn't answering.  And that the attempts to 
contact the outside servers aren't being quickly answered by an ICMP 'no route' 
or 'administratively denied' response from your router or firewall - so you wait 
for the timeout.  All of these can be fixed.
