RE: Mysterious 5 second delay on sybase_connect()

nsswitch seems to be OK, but it wasn't aliased to localhost for ipv6.  I've fixed that now (and knocked back the ipv6 precedence in /etc/gai.conf) and it seems to be behaving... 

Still doesn't explain to me why it was looking itself up in the first place...  Weird :/

Is it's own host name in the hosts file and nsswitch.conf set up correctly?

Alternatively disable all the ipv6 adapters if you aren't using them.
