It doesn't seem to me that DNS is caching correctly. I have the current BIND 8 release installed and lookups to about 1/2 the domains seem to cache and 1/2 don't. I don't know much about DNS caching but why is this and is there anything I can do to improve the situation. For example: sometimes it seems to find Yahoo in a tick and sometimes it takes 2 seconds. Same even w/ local domains which should never expire from DNS cache. I understand if DNS has never seen a name before it doesn't know where to look, but some just seem to get found so much quicker than others. Can someone enlighten me on this.
