If so I'd guess Apache or similar is doing DNS lookups. Either that or some PHP extension is doing DNS lookups. Try disabling various PHP extensions (assuming it does not try to dial out on a plain HTML page) to narrow it down and you can probably work out what /etc/hosts (or %WINDOWS%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) hacks to put in to prevent it or what config option to tweak.
