The changes to the gateway address being used by the Debian system should
have little impact on the delay you are seeing in your telnet sessions
starting. As I don't use telnet on my systems (I much prefer SSH) I don't
have any sure fire advice for you. However, you may want to look into
"in.telnetd" (believe that's the daemon for telnet servers) and see if
there isn't a command line switch that controls whether a DNS lookup is
performed or not. Then check how it's being started from your
"/etc/inetd.conf"
