Interestingly enough, I have the similar problem, but I think there is 
more to it than the timeout alone.
The problem I ahve ahppens exclusivey at work. We have two DNS servers, 
when I configure the new one running on our active directory server my 
Mac almost always fails to resolve on the first try, but always works 
on the second one. I ahve discussed this with our admin, don't know if 
he changed anything, but it seems a bit better now. I'd like to know 
the cause of this though.
BTW nslookup from command line works always, the problem exhibits 
mostly when using Safari and other browsers.
