Thanks to all who reminded me how dig resolves lookups. I have since learned that we are apparently having intermittent network issues that are causing a lot of systems to behave oddly and our DNS's are only reflecting those conditions.
We were taking anywhere from 0 milliseconds to 5 seconds to resolve local hosts and then just as suddenly, everything cleaned itself up and it is all peace and quiet for now. _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
