It can be instructive to use the 'dig' '+trace' option to do lookups
as that will give you timing results as the query descends the tree.
That way you can get an idea of where the delay may be. Together with
the '@' option to direct your query to a particular nameserver you might
be able to identify the bottleneck when it occurs.
