This sounds like a DNS issue. Your resolver asks for the domain and waits
for an answer. The resolver/nameserver gives up waiting and reports that
there is no such domain. Meanwhile the answer finally arrives at the local
nameserver but after your resolver/nameserver expected it. A reload asks
the nameserver which now has the answer.

I used to have this problem and solved it by adding more nameservers to
the "forwarders" config. Without knowing your DNS setup I can't really
make any useful recommendations.
