local dnsmasq server: first time it fails, next ones it works.

This small piece of bash output shows well the problem...

$ ssh turing.lesalab.net
ssh: Could not resolve hostname turing.lesalab.net: Name or service not known

$ ssh turing.lesalab.net
Last login: Mon Jul 16 18:31:09 2012 from ...

$ logout

I followed the dnsmasq article, am I not sure what I did wrong.

Here is my /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 160.78.48.10

About dnsmasq configuration...

$ </etc/dnsmasq.conf grep -v '^#\|^$'
listen-address=127.0.0.1
$

And finally and example with dig that seems working...
The second time dig is much faster.

$ dig www.cnngo.com

What can I try? Any ideas?
What might be the reason that the dns resolution fails the first time and works the successive ones?

Thanks.
