This seems to be the relevant file, ie this sets what the server itself
uses for DNS,

Can the server contact these dns servers?  You can test the dns servers
with something like:

	dig www.edubuntu.org @66.255.85.8
	dig www.edubuntu.org @66.255.85.9

A DNS issue might explain your delays with sudo.  I don't imagine it
explains much more than that though.
