Hi, Martin. That's also a very good suggestion. Now I thought that
using the -L parameter would turn all those off. I did try that
thinking that that was the case however I really wasn't sure that it
made a difference. I'll try your suggestion on the zero scores in the
local.cf too.
We do run named on that same server and in fact run a total of four
nameservers. I'll check and make sure that is the one that is the
first choice though in the System Preferences.
I did think of the this and wondered if there was a DDoS against one
of those servers that might be causing long pauses in responses. Just
about 5 weeks ago I had a DDoS saturating my incoming SMTPs... Despite
that, and without SA running we were able to function. (I'd be glad to
share individually with anyone the details of how we did that if you
are suffering the same.)

I'd check what RBL's and URI-RBL's you are running.
If you haven't turned any of them then you're running them all -
which can lead to very long processing times.
Choose one or two you want by looking through the 20_dnsbl_tests.cf
file. And give then rest a zero score in local.cf
Running a local caching nameserver on the machine itself can help
quite a bit here too.
