Is your DNS server busy resolving internal requests or external ones ?

You should not forward anything to your ISP. This is probably the  
main reason for your DNS beeing slow.

You should make shure you have well defined your network in your conf  
(so that you don't resolve queries for outside users...)-
I would not advise you to forward any queries to your ISP as this  
will disable the capacity for your own server to build It's own  
resolver database and forward all the queries to the ISP (resulting  
in slow answers)!


Normaly you should configure the master and the slave to be  
authoritative for your internal domains.
And configure the master and the slave to resolve ALL the Internet  
domains for your internal network and none for outside domains.


DNS is very tightly related to network... And we don't have any clue  
for the topology of your Net.


SHORT ANSWER : DON'T FORWARD --> BUILD YOUR OWN DATABASE!!
