Maybe this is common, I donno.

Code:
RabidSquirrel tom # emerge xmms-goom
Calculating dependencies... done!

SO:

I tell my box to download something from a website (distfiles.gentoo.org in this case) and it resolves incorrectly to 1.0.0.0

I ping the server, it resolves correctly.

I then repeat step 1, and it works.

I have seen this behavior consistently tieh emerge and gaim.

It's not common, it's a bug. Your DNS is messed up. I always recommend bind :)

On the other hand you could use djbdns, I use it and I have never had anything but good things to say about it. It can act as a lookup server and a caching server. :D
