the Zaurus doesn’t make for a great nameserver?
Out of suspicion, I tried putting our ISP’s nameservers at the top of my /etc/resolv.conf. Then I repeated some steps I’d just done—checking for new mail, visiting a particular site—and they were much much faster. This means I either misconfigured my Zaurus when I set it up to take over nameservice for our network, or something about it just makes it be slow responding.
I’ll be hopeful and review how I configured maradns; perhaps it just needs a tweak?
