Slow internal resolution

One of our Web servers, which is, of course, outside the firewall, has a
name that doesn't end with our domain name. Specifically, our domain is
ftb.ca.gov, our main Web site is www.ftb.ca.gov <http://www.ftb.ca.gov> ,
and the server in question (on the same subnet as www.ftb.ca.gov
<http://www.ftb.ca.gov> ) is called www.taxes.ca.gov
<http://www.taxes.ca.gov> . The ca.gov resolver lives at a different
agency; we have nothing to do with it. The ftb.ca.gov resolver lives here
and I'm the homeless schizophrenic they picked up off the street to
administer it, so I only know rudimentary things about DNS and BIND. To
make it worse, we're running BIND 4.9.3 and our cache table hasn't been
updated for 4.5 years. www.taxes.ca.gov <http://www.taxes.ca.gov> has 2
aliases: taxes.ca.gov and tax.ca.gov. All 3 are in our basic database,
which we call ftb.name (I inherited all of this -- don't blame anything on
me). The one in the subnet database file for 209.210.72 is www.ftb.ca.gov
<http://www.ftb.ca.gov> (with a dot after it). As far as I can tell,
everything is right for www.taxes.ca.gov <http://www.taxes.ca.gov> in our
DNS tables. If you do an nslookup, the name gets changed to
www.taxes.ca.gov.ftb.ca.gov <http://www.taxes.ca.gov.ftb.ca.gov> , and it
resolves to the correct IP address (209.210.72.17).
