I tried removing the 192.168.0.1 line along with the "search telus"
line. I didn't notice any difference, but could this be because
this stuff is buffered somewhere? Perhaps I need to kick something
to make sure the new file is read.

I have Windows XP running under VirtualBox on another machine;
I downloaded and ran DNSBench there. It was happy with my
network, and claimed that 192.168.0.1 was one of the fastest
DNS servers available.

It came back instantly with

I tried again with the command "dig @192.168.0.1 news.newsguy.com",
since that's the news server it takes so long to connect to. After
a barely-discernible pause, it came back with
