I've put monitoring onto my public website, and by far the largest component of the response time it gives me is the DNS lookup -- 4-500ms, which seems entirely unreasonable.
Is there a tool that anyone knows about that will measure the response time of my zone servers, somewhere on the web?
Is the sum of the times in a dig +trace the proper metric to look at there?
