If I do something like "dig google.com", the first results come back
after a while:  ;; Query time: 1077 msec

The subsequent results come back much quicker:  ;; Query time: 8 msec

Which is, kind of, what I'd expect.  Oddly though, on one the boxes,
here, it never returns an answer quicker than 60 odd milliseconds.  At
one stage, I noticed that it was quicker to query another box than use
the DNS server on itself.

This is the slower box, today:
dig google.com.au        (querying itself)
;; Query time: 420 msec  (first query)
;; Query time: 66 msec   (subsequent query)

dig google.com.au @192.168.1.4  (querying a different PC)
;; Query time: 862 msec         (first query)
;; Query time: 63 msec          (subsequent query)

Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
I read messages from the public lists.
