I just ran this from home on my caching bind resolver about 12 times and I had 1 dig +short gymcan.org fail out of all of the runs, and it came back almost immediately, not a 5s timeout. I am my own internet provider for myself (in terms of IP access) as of last Tuesday, so I know I'm not seeing Shaw or MTS middleware messing with my packets.
Wow! Thanks a ton! That rules out a lot of possibilities and makes me feel a lot better. I guess it's just something I will have to live with, as long as it's limited to a few domains only.
Isn't it curious how the failures occur super quickly, rather than taking some reasonable timeout amount of time... that's what I see too.
Interesting the others didn't fail for you, but I see that too, where one will be flakier than the others at random. I wouldn't be surprised if running the test at another time gives you a different result.
