Just a gut guess here Ted, but try disabling IPv6 support in your kernel 
on the CentOS4 box by putting:

   alias net-pf-10 off

in your /etc/modprobe.conf and then rebooting. That pause smells 
suspiciously like the same pause you used to get from Mozilla when IPv6 
was first introduced in...FC2? or whenever. Give the official CentOS4 
bind package a shot then, see what happens.
