So after a night of caffeine, finally figured this out.

Turns out the 2 DNS servers configured in /etc/resolv.conf were down.  Not
a big deal except that the conf has 'get-lease-hostnames' set to true,
which in turn was causing the long delays and as was mentioned by Simon,
turns out why it was taking so long to respond to the initial discover
packet.

I turned off the get-lease-hostnames for the time being and it resolved
the issue.
