just wait. i'll bet that it's not actually hanging, it's just waiting
for the name server to respond with an answer...eventually it will time
out.
some questions for you to think about:
are you primary or secondary nameserver for 164.233.199.in-addr.arpa?
alternatively is there a local primary or secondary for that zone?
is localhost (or 127.0.0.1) the first nameserver entry in
/etc/resolv.conf?
who is the forwarder specified in /var/named/boot.options? your ISP?
when you run the 'route' or 'netstat -r' command, it tries to resolve a
name for the host/network address, unless you specify the '-n' numbers
option.

i've seen the same thing on my system. i think the /etc/networks file
doesn't work for subnets.
try putting an entry in /etc/hosts instead:
199.233.164.32 loannet
alternatively, if you are running the primary nameserver for
164.233.199.in-addr.arpa then you can put the entry into the DNS.
