For dns caching, I would say use dnscache from djbdns instead. However running both a dns cache for internet names and a dns server for private DNS names requires ip aliasing, which is a bit annoying. However the 10-second delay suggests that something is timing out. Perhaps you have broken dns entries on the intranet boxes. ~mark
