Are there any DNS experts out there? Is this situation standard
behaviour for resolvers? I don't recall anybody having reported anything
like this before, and I'm sure there are others using Exim on slow
lines. I am loath to just go ahead and put Lee's fudge into Exim if the
problem is really to do with the nameserver and/or resolver.
