Instead of that, after a similar incident, I'm now using dnsmasq on 
every host configured as such:

no-resolv
no-poll
no-hosts
interface=lo
no-dhcp-interface=lo
server=<address of 1st dc>
server=<address of 2nd dc>

as well as the command line option "--all-servers" (set in in either 
/etc/sysconfig/dnsmasq for my mageia VMs or /etc/default/dnsmasq for my 
debian/ubuntu VMs).


I'm not sure it cures every problem but at least name resolution is fast.

Bye
