Why do you think dnscache won't help? Caching is not restricted to your local domain.
I guess I forgot to mention that only the first query is slow. If you repeat the query, the response is fast, so it's already being cached somewhere. I always assumed that's how DNS worked. So in order to test this "slowness", I have to keep thinking of domains to look up.
DNS servers normally do cache, but clients don't. Are you running named locally on each machine and pointing resolv.conf to localhost?
He's running nscd which caches DNS (group 'hosts' in /etc/nscd.conf).
