My DNS is the next machine over, but +trace does seem to be running very 
slowly, so that is probably the cause.

Getting a reply from my main DNS server took over 18 seconds.

;; Received 496 bytes from 75.148.37.67#53(75.148.37.67) in 18166 ms

And from the root servers, even longer.

Thanks. I’ll look at why bind on my DNS server is so slow.
