Well, we have exactly the same behaviour since our upgrade to BIND
9.5.0-P2. The problem disappears when restarting the daemon.
Our first problem was with ubs.com, also working fine from a Broadband
connection, and OK again after bind restart. Then we have had the same
problem with 3 different italian sites working the day before, and OK
after bind restart.
I subscribed to this mailing list yesterday because I felt uninspired,
so I can see that I'm not alone! And eager to get a clue ...
