http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/notes.html#gluelessness discusses this problem in
detail, and explains how you can configure domains to avoid the problem.

The domains discussed here (www.theycomeoutatnight.com and www.monty.de)
have at least two levels of gluelessness. BIND's ``no query restart''
bug turns two levels into a disaster.

dnscache doesn't have the ``no query restart'' bug; it tolerates several
levels of gluelessness. It will find these domains within a few seconds.
To set it up: http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/install.html
