Maybe this NEWS entry?

,----[ /usr/share/doc/libc6/NEWS.Debian ]
| glibc (2.9-8) unstable; urgency=low
|
|   Starting with version 2.9-8, unified IPv4/IPv6 lookup have been enabled
|   in the glibc's resolver. This is faster, fixes numerous of bugs, but is
|   problematic on some broken DNS servers and/or wrongly configured 
|   firewalls. 
|   
|   If such a DNS server is detected, the resolver switches (permanently
|   for that process) to a mode where the second request is sent only when
|   the first answer has been received. This means the first request will
|   be timeout, but subsequent requests should be fast again. This 
|   behaviour   can be enabled permanently by adding 'single-request' to 
|   /etc/resolv.conf.
