I agree, Net::DNS is slow. dnsd's caching is _really_ primitive, and was/is just a hack until I implement some more features, like a better cache system, a "real" place to keep zone files in, etc. My main focus currently is a DNS server that can be used for serving domain names (authoritative servers for domains) and then I plan to extend it to implement remote queries and some optimizations that crazyinsomniac has made me aware of.

What are you using to write your DNS server? Are you using Net::DNS modules to parse the message? or do you have some other and faster way of parsing the DNS query?
