Does this machine also run bind as a local nameserver?
I found that the first lookups I do during boot always
fail. I assume because bind takes "too long" to get
started and prime the cache (or something :-).

I made my name lookup problems go away by defining
a "namedprime" system service script that starts
just after named and backgrounds nslookup commands for
names I happen to know I'll need soon.

Klunky, but it worked :-).
