Do you have two of them? The usual cause of noticeable slowness is that the
first one is not responding so you fail to the 2nd. Or you are looking up
unqualified hostnames and the clients have several domains in their search list
and the one that succeeds isn't first.
If your main DNS server is slow, you could run a caching version locally - just
add your main server as a 'forwarder' in named.conf and set resolve.conf to use
127.0.0.1 first.
