hello list,

I get more and more problems using dnscache. I've already started a
thread a few months ago about this issue, and until now I entered the
missing queries to an instance of tinydns, but it seems that this
problem is growing:

dnsqr mx newcastle.edu.au
15 newcastle.edu.au:
timed out

dnsqr mx deloitte.com.au
15 deloitte.com.au:
timed out

While other nameservers give me an answer:

host -t mx deloitte.com.au ns2.kpn.net
Using domain server:
Name: ns2.kpn.net
Address: 194.151.228.58#53
Aliases: 

deloitte.com.au mail is handled by 200 deloitte.com.au.s7a2.psmtp.com.
deloitte.com.au mail is handled by 300 deloitte.com.au.s7b1.psmtp.com.
deloitte.com.au mail is handled by 400 deloitte.com.au.s7b2.psmtp.com.
deloitte.com.au mail is handled by 100 deloitte.com.au.s7a1.psmtp.com.

I know it's apparently not a dnscache fault, but the problem is rather
annoying. Customers are complaining and they do not accept that they
have to use gmail or other ways to contact these domains. I think I'm
not the only one with this problem. How do others resolve this issue?
(other options than installing PowerDNS or BIND)

R.
