Any idea what could be causing the following?

I'm seeing a ton of this in my ddebug log:
Jan 5 16:37:14 quark spamd[2031]: dns: timeout for
sorbs-lastexternal,sorbs after 11 seconds
Try "dig @localhost www.spamassassin.org"
ie: is the localhost DNS server working properly?
Yes, it is. I'm not seeing any major errors in /var/log/messages, and I'm
seeing some rules match on this. It would be quasi-helpful if the error
logged what lookup was actually timing out (i.e.
1.1.168.192.someblacklist.org or whatever) so that one could try and
diagnose this stuff with tcpdump or querylogs.
It's not doing it right now -- it appears to be something that only
happens when the system is under reasonably high load, but I *did* verify
that lookups were working when I was getting these messages.
