I'm regularly running into the issue that DNS lookups fail on the first attempt while they succeed on the second or third attempt. Multiple Debian machines on the same network don't have any DNS problems and lookups always succeed on the first attempt.
Another instance of that issue:
glaubitz@suse-laptop:~> ssh pettersson.debian.org ssh: Could not resolve hostname pettersson.debian.org: Name or service not known glaubitz@suse-laptop:~> ssh pettersson.debian.org Linux pettersson 4.19.0-16-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.181-1 (2021-03-19) x86_64
(...)
DNS lookup for SSH fails for the first login attempt, succeeds on the second attempt.

Are you sure your DNS servers have reliable behaviour ? that all accept TCP and UDP DNS queries.. what are you seeing might be the case of unreliability being shown immediately rather than hang around and timeout, is IPv6 enabled or disabled?
