By examining the difference between the DNS resolution you run on your
LAN and the way your domain is resolved on the Internet.
Hint: the solution will involve setting up BIND in moderately smart
ways, to do different things in different circumstances.
You probably have the 'monkeymatic" thing resolved to the public address
on your LAN as well - which causes the delays.
If you have a recent enough version of BIND (8.x or 9.x) then look into
the "views" directive - this allows you to do split DNS on one server,
which is what you probably want.
