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
There was not any traffic, even incomplete?
I am also surprised by the 0 packets business. However, I suggest that you re-run with the "-n" option on tcpdump, which tells it not to reverse lookup the IP addresses. Obviously, without that, tcpdump holds its output waiting until the nameserver responds or times out before it will print. So, "-n" is a good option when debugging name server stuff.
Along with the previous reporter, I suspect the resolv.conf file. You could try specifying the nameserver on the dig line as dig @w.x.y.z rest of query where the w.x.y.z is the IP address (not name) of a name server.
