Hi @ralphonz
I believe its most probably the result of Bonjour IPv6 lookups being issued for DNS lookups on .local domains. These IPv6 lookups create a timeout delay until the original IPv4 DNS lookup is issued.
A couple of solutions you can try,
-
change .local to .dev and that wont trigger Bonjour lookups on macOS.
-
You can alternatively add additional ipv6 entry i.e.
::1 keelmanslodge.local
127.0.0.1 keelmanslodge.local
