After a clean install of 10.10 I'm finding DNS resolution takes quite a long time. Hitting any url takes a good few seconds (10 - 30) before the site is displayed. I'm thinking this is a DNS resolution issue due to the 'waiting' or 'looking up' text being displayed in Firefox and Chrome.

I do not get this issue with Slackware Linux or Windows 7 so it is not network or DNS server specific issue. It's something on the client side.

Looking around on Google I see there are a few other people with this issue. The ones that have reported a workaround by switching to openDNS are disabling IPV6 or dealing with another issue.

Any help would be appreciated.

My network card is wired: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM5906M Fast Ethernet PCI Express

Thanks
