You probably want to do an strace -f host blah rather than a basic strace, or I think you'll lose what's going on.
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?
The usual reason for a delay is that you have more than one nameserver specified in resolv.conf and the first one tried is down or unreachable so you time out and retry. Try "dig @namserver hostname" with each of the nameserver addresses to see if they are working or just slow.
