Is that 27msec about normal?? We're running a Linux-based DNS server
here which I'm convinced is configured OK (dnswalk doesn't show any
problems with it) but never gets better than an average of 3-4 *seconds*
for name lookups, which seems horrible... (the server used to be
Microsoft-based which gave similar performance, so I don't think it's a
confugration problem with the server itself)

We have about 100 people accessing the 'net over a ropey old 64k link
though, which spends its life almost saturdated - do DNS requests result
in a lot of traffic in terms of packet size or lots of packets for a
single request from a client's point of view??
