network programming problem??

[Jan Olderdissen]

I strongly suspect there is something wrong with the DNS setup on that
Linux box. If, say, the first DNS server IP configured was bogus,
you'd expect symptoms like this. You might want to try the litaral IP
address instead to see if this is the case:

urlopen("http://194.109.137.226").read()

I ran the script locally on RH 7.3 and I got values at around 1s per
request.
