Thanks for the suggestion :)

Support @ the VPS provider were useless... with the script monkey asking for my root password so he could 'play' with my server and see why server couldn't "send" email....................

I gave powerdns-recursor a go.. It wasn't as frightening as I thought it would be, took me in all about 10-20 mins to setup (compile from ports, configure, start). I created a network sub interface with a private IP address and set the recursor to listen on it, updated resolv.conf and tested. Magically all my problems are now gone. I'll check out unbound if pdns-recursor becomes a problem.

Big lesson learned today for me.. Run your own resolver.

Cheers,
Alex.

I guess the local caching nameserver is one way out of this, an

Install unbound.  It's simple to set up and configure and it's very
simple to enable DNSSEC validation, should you choose to do so.
