I also run Firefox on the same machine to access the internet and the local server for development.  I've never had a problem accessing the server until recently when I moved to a new location and tried to set up the new network on a new router and internet connection.  I switched the NIC card to a static IP from DHCP and then access to the server got really slow, like 15 seconds delay from 2 seconds before.  Also, Drupal can no longer access the net to check for module updates and such.

it's a bit hard to say and I admit I haven't read all the output I am
not quoting.

I'd suggest you'd check your resolv.conf inside the jail as DHCP
wouldn't update that one and as you moved, things might have changed?
