There is a simple workaround to bypass the hostname resolution mechanism, so that the server can respond faster.
# This is a hack to patch slow socket.getfqdn calls that
# BaseHTTPServer (and its subclasses) make.

import BaseHTTPServer
def _bare_address_string(self):
 host, port = self.client_address[:2]
 return '%s' % host
BaseHTTPServer.BaseHTTPRequestHandler.address_string = \
 _bare_address_string
# End hack.
