I was about to recommend BIND's prefetch option but I'm not sure that it
would help in a "once per minute" case as the configurable trigger TTL
is limited to 10 seconds maximum.

What's the reason for keeping the trigger so short? I can imagine valid
use cases for even earlier prefetching and don't see significant dangers
except for cache memory usage.
