ping taking a LONG time

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

In my dmz if I do a 
ping myother400
it takes forever for it to return any information, like a minute or so. 
Once it does it claims that all tries were sub millisecond.
But if I do a ping xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx in which xxx... is the ip address of 
the other 400 it works as usual.

I checked CFGTCP-12-Change TCP/IP domain information to see if it search 
local hosts table first or the 3 external DNS' set up.  It does use
Host name search priority  . . .   *LOCAL
and there is a host table entry for myother400.

Any idea's where the hold up might be?
