Yes, I think so, nevertheless you can test this if you
setup a bind9 server as a caching only name server,
and the response from route -n should be faster than
the one you have right now.
Extending the explanation:
Also if you have a private network and route try to
resolve the ip's from your private network to names,
then the problem comes becuase your ISP does not map
your private ip's to names, and that's why it takes
too much time. Then if you have a private network I
recommend you set up a caching only server, and
resolve your ip's to names, you do not need a public
domain, but you must have a line in your named.conf
like
notify no;
in order to don't get other servers confused with the
private domain that you will use. Also you can map
your ip's just to names like 192.168.0.1 correspond to
alex_arc for example.
You can get a much better picture of all with the
DNS-HOWTO and also recommend you to read the RFC's
that comes in the HOWTO (Just for fun).
Regards.
