Sorry for not reading your full post, Im in rush atm

Which site the dns server *forget* the IP? I suspect the TTL is too short here. IIRC, there are some sites like facebook which uses DNS roundrobin, the TTL is set only for 1 min. If the next dns request is > 1 min after the previous one, the dns server *forgets* IP (A record) and needs to query the authorative dns server of the facebook site again.

TTL can be checked with dig
