I'm not a djbdns expert, as I use BIND, but perhaps some of these
"slow" issues are related to djbdns.
From what I've read, we're using dnscache, which only pulls info from
authoritative servers only. There is no concept of 'forwarders', such
as with the BIND world where you can take advantage of your isp's
cache. This means you are going to the root name servers, on down for
every query. This wouldn't be a big deal on high traffic servers, but
I'd imagine that this could cause major slow downs on lower traffic
servers.
Could you switch to give this theory a shot? Use yum to install
"caching-nameserver, bind and bind-chroot" and edit the top of the
config file to look like this:
options {
directory "/var/named";
dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
forward only;
forwarders {
ISP_DNS1;
ISP_DNS2;
};
allow-recursion {
127.0.0.1;
};
/*
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
* directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked
* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
* port by default.
*/
// query-source address * port 53;
};

Yes. I installed dbjdns local-cache. My resolv.conf looks like:
search mydomain.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 205.152.132.23
nameserver 205.152.37.23
