sendmail wants to talk to a nameserver when it starts up. I forget why but
it does. You have a few choices.
1) live with it. Consider it an exercise in patience building.
2) hack the sendmail startup script to start sendmail in the background
3) remove the symlinks that start sendmail (only if you are ALWAYS a
standalone machine, sendmail does nothing useful for standalone machines).
4) replace sendmail with something else, others have suggested qmail
5) set up your machine as a caching nameserver
