Hi
What's the dns query return time? what if you do a
dig @ns02.rtchrd01.md.comcast.net comcast.net.
also, have you tried to use a different dns server and see what the
performance is?
if it's under around 100 ms, then it's not the DNS server. I would use
a different server if it's above 500 ms.
You will get performance problems with DNS server of your ISPs from
time to time.
