Alexander, I did as you said running: /usr/sbin/tcpdump -X port 53 tcpdump: listening on eth0 And then running the 2 DiG statements. I then quit the tcpdump command and got: 0 packets received by filter 0 packets dropped by kernel I also ran DiG with domains that worked fine, and tcpdump didn't act any different. What should I try next?

When doing so run in a different terminal / console "tcpdump -X port 53". Do you have anything running (iptables) which could block port 53 both UDP _and_ TCP?
