Perhaps the problem lies with DNS then. Configure the client to disable
reverse lookups (ie, set "reverse_lookup = no" in the config file) and
try again.

Hmm, I can't decipher this.  It looks like the opcode is 9 and the rcode
is 11, neither of which seems to be in use yet. Does dig reveal anything
interesting when trying to lookup this particular hostname?
