A couple of things. Do a reload or a restart on your named and check
/var/log/messages for errors. In fact, NEVER, reload or restart without
checking the log to make sure no error shows up.
Second. Is 196.2.64.1 the ip address of the ppp connection to your
provider?
Third, use tcpdump to watch port 53 to see what's happening. Is it
trying to resolve internally?
