Fwd: centos email server suddenly much slower. What to do?
 

sorry, didn't realize I had not sent it to the list too.

I have ran the command again several times, and now it is much slower,
~30/40 msec

No that doesn't require payment. Usually you want you DNS to be close to
keep the response time short but with a 2 second response time pretty much
any nameserver in the world will be faster.
So go ahead and use 8.8.8.8 and see if that works better.
