Obviously the default timeout is too high.
Add two lines to /etc/resolv.conf
These values will give a total delay of 2 * 2 = 4 seconds when the first DNS server (nameserver) is down.
Further ensure that local is first for hosts in /etc/netsvc.conf (before a reference to bind or dns) - so for example a lookup for localhost is found in /etc/hosts (must be there of course) without querying DNS.
