Fix slow mobile user logins

First of all, the Search Domains shouldn't be entered manually. It should always be provided by DHCP server -- centralized management and less headache.

Second, the internal (company) DNS server should provide a different domain than public. Say your company is 123 and the public domain name is 123.com. Your internal DNS domain should be 123corp.com or something different than 123.com. Your Mac server will be server.123corp.com.

Therefore, your laptop won't be able to resolve server.123corp.com when it's outside of the office and won't cause any delay at logon.

I think the hint is suggesting that this is the cause of delay... because it is trying to reach an unreachable address when the user logs in from outside the company.
