        Sounds more like you have an NT box on the LAN. Although maybe it
        is a consequence of not running a caching nameserver (named) on the
        machine. It could also be the result of silly values in the
        ISP's DNS ttl fields.

        never direct it through the ISP's cache and put the address of that
        cache in the /etc/hosts file. Do not use IP address based dst
rules.
