Hi David,

My Domain name is registered with godaddy.

I have not tried Wireshark yet I was hoping this is commonly known why the 
network would do this magic.

I will look at the other responses.

Many thanks for the quick feedback!

-Tony

Do you have the domain entered correctly in your /etc/hosts file?

During your performance tests whilst using the FQDN did you notice any weird 
DNS/Reverse lookups for your domain name?

That definately sounds fishy, but not improbable.

Let me make sure I understand, if you configure Apache (e.g.) with the domain 
name it is much slower than configuring Apache with the localhost name?
