Speaking as myself, and not as an ACS person, this is a known issue
and is actively being worked ... by a guy sitting about ten feet
away from me. :)

Also, a number of high-profile end-user applications and web sites
(especially some P2P and MySpace) have started to keep ridiculously
low TTLs, causing a /very/ substantial load increase. That is also
being worked.

And again, speaking personally, yes, one can do individual lookups
faster than ACS and GCI are right now. Give out your DNS servers'
IP addresses to thousands of broadband customers and it gets a little
less trivial. :)
