intermittent inability to resolve hostnames using sid

[John covici <covici@ccs.covici.com>]

Hi.  I am using sid and the latest bind9 and its libraries and what is
happening is that either its so slow that many apps time out or
something else is wrong -- when some app like sendmail tries to look
up aname, it will time out.  Now if I look up a name and it times out
and then look it up again, often it will work -- so something is quite
slow with named.

Anyone else seeing this and is there a fix?

Any assistance would be appreciated.
