BIND 9 not caching

This one is a little weird, but I have a 9.2.0 server
running on Debian 2.4.18, and it's not holding any
cache. (it is not a caching only server, but is
authoritative for a couple zones).
It takes a couple seconds to resolve a name, and if I
try and resolve that name again immediately afterwards
it still takes the same about of time. Also nslookup
does not show that the name is "Non-Authoritative"
after resolving it a first time.
If I do a 'rndc dumpdb' the file named_dump.db
contains only:
;
; Cache dump of view '_default'
;
$DATE 20020328012709
All files in /etc/bind and /var/cache/bind are owned
by root with write permissions.
I haven't seen anything like this, and haven't been
able to find much with google.
Any Thoughts greatly appreciated!

Here is the relevant section of the named.conf file:
-------------------------------
include "/etc/bind/rndc.key";
options {
directory "/var/cache/bind";
pid-file "/var/run/named.pid";
statistics-file "/etc/bind/named.stats";
allow-recursion { "recurse"; };
auth-nxdomain no; # conform to RFC1035
query-source address * port 53;
};
controls {
inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys {
"rndckey"; };
};
// reduce verbose logging
logging {
category lame-servers { null; };
};
// prime the server with knowledge of the root servers
zone "." {
type hint;
file "/etc/bind/db.root";
};
