I noticed this on my home 5.2-CURRENT systems with Mozilla-1.6. When I just upgraded my work's 4.9-STABLE system with Moz-1.6 via portupgrade and now I see it there too. At home I can't disable IPv6 on CURRENT as X11R6-4.3.99.12 seems to need it to work. On both systems, I am running DJBDNS's "dnscache". When I see Mozilla hang trying to resolve (something like ad.doubleclick.net) I can immediately resolve it from a shell with "dnsip ad.doubleclick.net". So it definitely seems something mozilla specific.
