In my experience the DNS is the one that normaly slows down the
internet surfing. Either taking too long to reslove or timing
out. Check that you are getting a faster response from the DNS. Use
dig or nslookup
One trick when lookups are slow and out of your control is to cache
DNS results with: /usr/sbin/nscd - name service cache daemon
It is easy to try and test:
chkconfig nscd on
service nscd start
If you are trying to debug a name server or set of name servers
turning it off helps:
service nscd stop
or to just turn it off permanent.
chkconfig nscd off
service nscd stop
