Good point.  Using -f doesn't show a 3+ second gap, but I still have no idea
why it's slow (3-5 seconds) compared to CentOS5, or why using ltrace causes
host or nslookup to crash.  Can anybody else get ltrace to work with host?

Yes, I am running nscd, but I didn't think it cached DNS queries.

And I have done nothing different than what I do in CentOS5, yet it is much
slower (by at least an order of magnitude).

No, this is in a corporate environment, and the queries that are slow are
for names outside of our domain (i.e., the Internet), so I don't think it
would help.

Any other ideas on how to diagnose the root cause?
