No, as I said, I don't use the router for DNS resolution, so I guess I 
am bypassing it, as you suggest :) They're the ISP's DNS, but I've tried 
others, without any improvement.

	forwarders {
		// ukpost
		77.75.108.53;

		// entanet
		195.74.102.146;
		195.74.102.147;
	};

I seem to have worked round the problem by adding mail.vanderhoff.org 
and smtp.vanderhoff.org to my local hosts file. Not seen any timeouts 
since, but I don't feel it's the right thing to do...
