I have done some dig requests using the hosts in the debug file and they

sometimes 25 of 38 pass there seems to be no pattern to them failing.
There is a firewall running (nothing that would stop the DNS queries as
I disabled it for a test and that made no effect).
I cant see any reason why some DNS requests are failing. I'm looking at
running bind and using that for most of the rDNS queries to see if that
speeds stuff up.
Anyone else got any ideas I could try.
Crappy cable modem buffer?
Network congestion?
In any case, running a local caching name server could help since it'll
be able to retry failed queries. You should do so anyway for the
caching benefit.
