    My next move would be to look for issues in the network, I would
    look at what wireshark can sniff out. I would look for packets with
    errors. The purpose is to find out if the network is mangling
    packets.<br>

                    Your forwarder probably doesn't handle DNSSEC
                    responses well. Therefore your BIND cannot validate
                    the answers and returns a failure code. <br>
                    <br>
                    Either update the forwarder/enable DNSSEC (older
                    versions of BIND 9 require "dnssec-enable yes;" in
                    the options clause), or disable DNSSEC validation in
                    your local BIND (set "dnssec-validation no;"). <br>
                  </blockquote>

                Or consider not doing forwarding, that usually gives
                fewer problems if possible.
