nslookup takes a long time to respond with answers under some circumstances.
Looking at a tcpdump, it seems that this is when (for example) a broadband
router acting as a DNS proxy, merely forwards the query response as from the
real, external DNS server as opposed to from itself.
Busybox/nslookup ignores the response from the external server and repeats the
request.
By contrast, requests made to the busybox as a proxy itself seem to be answered
almost immediately.
