Personally, I would consider response time to be the duration between the
arrival of a request at the DNS server and when the server spits the response
for the request out its local network interface, and latency to be the
additional time the request and response spend traversing the network between
the client and server.
So what the client sees is the sum of response_time + (2 * latency) {making the
somewhat arbitrary assumption that the latency is the same in both directions,
which isn't really valid just because of the different sizes of the request and
response, potentially exacerbated by network links on the path with
asymmetrical baud rates}.
Just my $.02 (or whatever your local currency is).

I don't see any difference between those two.
