Apache Proxy and Apache server at startup

[mikebw at colossus.bilow.com (Mike Bilow)]

My guess is this is a name service issue.  If you have virtual web sites
listed in the Apache configuration files, it may be more efficient (and
more secure) to list them by IP address instead.

Also, if you have multiple IP addresses on the machine, then Apache will
try to reverse resolve each one to a domain.  If your name service is
broken or inconsistent between forward and reverse, then this will slow
down the startup procedure until the queries time out.
