Check you're /etc/resolv/conf.
You should have something like this in there:

nameserver 127.0.0.1


Also, check that your dialer isn't updating your resolv.conf on connect
(simply dial, and check that file). If it is, RTFM for your dailer.

You can see if it's querying your NS by putting in a silly URL, such as
google.com.net.org.gov and looking at your named logs (/var/log/syslog
in debian by default IIRC).


Good luck
