No, it is not the only difference. Suggest posting to the shrike list, posting your iptables rules, and tell more about what dns servers you are trying to use. To me this sounds like you are not allowing dns queries through your firewall and you are waiting for it to time out and then it checks the secondary dns server and gets an answer. That is just a guess and this is off topic for this list. Sooooooo, ask again on the correct list and provide more information.
