From my understanding of how DNS resolution works, your #2
statement below doesn't make sense to me. DNS lookups use UDP
only. TCP is only used for zone transfers. Therefore, this should
not have affected resolution performance of a client resolver to
the DNS server.
Can you correct my mis-understanding?
Bind can be configured to use TCP for queries (cf. the RES_USEVC
option for the resolver (in <resolv.h>).
