Melvin,

Try to keep the dns queries close to the hosts.  i.e. keep the metric
close to one.  i.e. near the gateway.  Most gateways use some type of
algorithm based upon metric values so keeping them low is usually a good
thing as far as creating small routing tables.

It sounds like you might have a proxy or some type of firewall preventing
dns lookups from your lan.  You might also be blacklisted depending if you
have been a bad dns admin.  Also, make sure that you have at least three
dns entries in each host node.  That may help if the primary is down etc.

Sincerely Yours,

Mike Felzien
