I often see this kind of behaviour when the host tries to perform reverse lookup on IP addresses. If DNS is configured incorrectly (eg non existant DNS server) the query times out (takes maybe 75s for default bind resolver) instead of returning an error or whatever. /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts are good places to start.
