Bob, have you tried doing a host -v command, and then disconnecting the
Internet connection before repeating it. That should show conclusively
if the local name server is caching but slow, or not working at all.

*Yes it works with the cat5 ethernet cable pulled from the
wireless bridge that is my internet source:
host -a google.com
Received 156 bytes from 127.0.0.1#53 in 115 ms
I'm satisfied that it works, the time is greatly reduced,
it's just that others report faster operation!
