However if this does help, then do consider that if you don't use
forwarders, and don't use root servers then your machine is on its own, so
it will know only the domains in its OWN dns server.

So either use forwarders (preferable), or the root servers.

Or use the method at the end of the DNS-howto of using a fake (empty) and
a valid hint file switched by the ip-up and ip-down scripts.
