quick fix:

  turn off reverse name lookups, you really dont want it on-the-fly anyway
  (most log analasys programs can lookup names now).   Assuming you are 
  running a recent version of apache (1.1) you can do this by simply
  adding the config line: 'HostnameLookups off' to httpd.conf.

As for longterm fixes, dunno.  Perhaps look at the configuration of your
named (specifically your 'forwarders').  I doubt the problem is specific
to 2.1.5, and it could even be caused by one of your forwarders up the
line.  If the problem persisted you could hardcode their NS domain in your 
boot file (cache or secondary--not suggested, but would likely solv the 
problem).
