2 million per month averages to 66,000 queries per day. This server would
need to do several times as many queries per day. Even if it only did
~180,000 per day, for the 500,000 hits, that's still a lot of lookups.
Besides, I've noticed that DNS querries (like mail, and web hits) may be
slow to moderate during part of the day, and then really spike during the
'busy' times of the day.
