peculiar lookup timeouts

[Adam Young]

Hi Shaheen,

Yes, sorry.  I also get "SERVFAIL" until I restart bind.  I just looked at
my notes again from the last time I encountered the problem.

If anyone else has come across this and has any answers, I'd like to avoid
downgrading to Bind8 if possible.

Thanks,
