I had this problem, I just don't remember the fix I describe is for THAT or something else. :-) In any case, I use a local machine as a hidden DNS server; the primary published server at my ISP gets it from my hidden machine and then a second publiched machine gets it from the first. However, the second machine was wrong (not loading from the first), and all queries to it screwed up. So check not just your local DNS, but ALL of them. -ahd-
