It's probably doing a dns lookup which could be taking very long. Add the hostnames to /etc/hosts and then make sure you have the hosts section in the file /etc/nsswitch.conf as follows:
hosts: files nisplus nis dns
Well you don't necessarily need all of those just make sure it has the files first so it will look there first and not try to resolve it through dns.
Well even if you use IP addresses you might still want to do it. Unless you disabled it, it often does a reverse dns lookup so it can log the domain name instead of the ip address.
