First, have a look at your cache files. Second, your machines may slow
down in case your slic connection goes away. If you're not online 24h per
day, you might want to restart your bind(s) when going offline. At
restart, change (per script) their config files to be authoritive for "."
(eg. create your own root server without containing any data). Then your
boxes don't have wait long seconds for timeout but will receive an error
(-> not found...)
