We were alerted to the problem because we got long delays (around 20

I do occasionally have a very short delay between
the main "www.mydomain" and "mydomain" but the same delay never happened
with the other domains/websites I am running under the same ip address.
I guess I could reverse my main domain to my one and only static ip
address and my question would be: - Does that would affect the other
websites I am serving using the same ip address? Thanks everyone for
this wealth discussion!
If you are referring to my comment above about a 20 second delay, then I
should point out that the delay was caused because the reverse zone name
servers were inaccessible - access to them is blocked by our firewall.
So the client name server would try each listed name server and have to
wait for a timeout. On average this gave a 20 second delay.
It was not caused because there were no reverse zone entries to lookup.
You're right John! It has nothing to do with the reverse zone. In my
case, my server short delay is caused by the way my ISP router is
configured from the firmware through the DHCP when it switch from the
main server to the backup server. Thanks for pointing that out!
John.
