I'm usre now.  I removed bind from the system and made it just use our
regular DNS server.  The slowness problem went away.

Here are the steps we can take to see the problem:
Bring up the admin page (/usr/local/koha/intranet/htdocs)

Search for a book in the "Catalog" box by typing in a keyword and
pressing enter.

Click on a book title.  That brings me to a page that has non-functional
Modify and Delete buttons:

/usr/local/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/koha/detail.pl?

I have omitted the search criteria following the "detail.pl?" because I
doubt that it's relevant.

I dunno.  How could I tell?
