Starting Monday this week, we've seen a significant delays and timeouts on our upstream name-servers. We saw something similar on our Hetzner servers, but it seems to have gone away now. Has anyone else seen/experienced name-server issues in the last 2-3 days?

I know about the BIND patch from last week, could that somehow be involved?

Not sure if this is your problem but the bind patch was released mostly untested. The new mode allocates tons of filedescriptors and fails in various freaky ways. The result is delayed resolving and various other failures plus an increased load on the nameserver itself.
