    this means that you have a firewall that blocks incoming udp on port
    53 on both the loopback and your nic.

    specifically, the blocked packets are replies to your dns queries.

    fix your firewall ruleset. the rule from my ipf ruleset:

    pass  out quick on $if proto tcp/udp from $ip to any port = 53 keep state

    that "keep state" is what allows the responses back in.
