If you were doing queries across the wireless link to another box, I would have said it's a fair bet. But doing queries on the localhost shouldn't involve the rest of the network. It looks like you might have a similar issue to what I had (that one of the PCs is slower to use its own DNS server than another was). You could try running the caching nameserver on several boxes, comparing the results. Today, the fastest internal response I can get is 33 mS doing a lookup up on localhost.localdomain at the DNS server localhost address. i.e. dig localhost.localdomain @ 127.0.0.1 It varies between 33 and 60+ mS to return results. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
