Try <random string>.pfsense.org (see below) to avoid caching, since the problem in question does not rely on the name existing.  I am able to reproduce it roughly every 3rd random string I try, definitely not every time.  I am unable to reproduce it with other domains so far, only pfsense.org and when it does occur I see a 1500-2200ms query time:
