DNS Redundancy, Round 2

[Stewart Dean]

A slightly different, but allied question: we are seeing a situation where (Red 
Hat or CentOS) servers with 2 nameservers in their resolv.conf files nearly hang 
in name resolution with 2 nameservers listed, but run quickly if one of the 
nameservers is deleted from the resolve.conf.  Both the referenced nameservers 
are on the same internal subnet, 10.5.0.2, 10.5.0.3

The two internal nameservers are running AIXV5.3 and BIND 9.2.1

I haven't delved into this yet, but I'd welcome suggestions on where I should be 
looking.........
