Roger that.

But in this case, the LEAF box, using that nameserver,
queries the dnscache for name resolution.  Dnscache
will not have name/address pairs for your internal
lan, and my guess is that when you sit down at the
LEAF and type

        nslookup 192.168.x.y

where x and y are replaced with real IP's on your
internal LAN that you don't get an instant response.
Am I correct?  If the lookup does succeed, it probably
is coming from your LEAF /etc/hosts.

I'm just curious because using tinydns takes care
of that, and I faced the same problem recently.
