Thanks! I missed that directive. And yes when I lowered it I was able to decrease the initial lookup time to 5 seconds if I set the directive to 5 seconds. I am wondering what tradeoff I will have, if anything else will break by lowering this too low.

Is the timeout on lookup I experience due to the internal resolver trying to do an ipv6 host name lookup?

I received similar #'s to the above when it tried for the AAAA record it took 15 seconds till it timed out.

Thanks again
