For question 1:
“Loading” is a function of the web site not DNS.  Your first question could 
have to do what the default site is in your web configuration and what kind of 
rewrite rules are getting you to the other.

If it were me I’d probably do some timed “host” or “dig” commands for the two 
records to verify name resolution itself wasn’t a problem.

I guess it MIGHT be a minutely slower to resolve www if it is a CNAME to the 
other as opposed to both being A records.   However, since this is a fairly 
common practice I doubt it is likely to be of major importance in overall 
timing.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no problems with our DNS.  We only host 
25 domains.

The report must also address these two specific questions:


  1.  Why does www.kentlaw.iit.edu<http://www.kentlaw.iit.edu> load quicker 
than kentlaw.iit.edu<http://kentlaw.iit.edu> in any browser?
  2.  What happens if we remove the forwarders option from named.conf?
I can't duplicate the issue in Q1 and I'm trying to determine a way of testing 
Q2.

I would push back a bit on exactly what problems are attempted to be
solved here. The BIND defaults are about as efficient as they can be,
especially so in later versions.
