We noticed a similar behavior with old implementations of DNS clients. An analysis of OSX, Windows, modern and old Linuxes have been documented there: http://packetfence.org/bugs/view.php?id=1423 Bottomline: new implementations (including mobile) were fine and old were not. Fixing the issue for every DNS client library will probably be tricky. What is your client OS and browser? We will try to track down the problem.
