Planned, yep, that's what they called it. I've seen that in other regulated environments too. Cox's DNS sucked eggs too. There used to be some nice DNS on LSU's campus, but I've solved the problem myself. I've run BIND and a more appropriate caching server, dnsmasq, with good results behind my firewall. Do a google search for LSU and DNS and see if that does not solve your problem. If you have a spare machine load it up with dnsmasq and point it to LSU or wherever and point all your local machines at it. The world will be much more responsive that way.
