Deconfiguring interfaces takes too long..

[BugBuster]

Hi, I have added a second ethernet card to my desktop and since then I have a strange problem. Whenever I have some entry in /etc/resolv.conf, restarting networking service takes very long like 10-20 seconds whereas earlier it happend in a flash. Also while shutdown it pauses at 'Deconfiguring interfaces'..As a result it now takes 20 secs to shutdown while earlier it took only 5-8 secs.

Here is my /etc/network/interfaces file;

## Loopback
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

## Ethernet(Gateway to Internet)
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.10
netmask 255.255.255.0

## Ethernet (Local Services)
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.0.10
netmask 255.255.255.0

What could be the reason.
Everything works fine if I remove the resolv.conf file or when it is empty.

What's in /etc/resolv.conf?
