Sigh. That would do it. Thanks.
So likely causes of this will be:
slow network to nameserver
slow nameservers
unavailable reverse resolution (e.g., at EDUCOM)
gateway hiccups
Has this problem been seen at any other time?
Should we adjust some of the _res parameters? As they are now (four
retries per nameserver, 4<<N seconds waiting for a response), there can
be delays of up to about 32 (or is it 64?) seconds. I'd suggest cutting
it down to maybe 10 sec or so. Opinions?
