try removing all 'nameserver' entries from resolv.conf it will cause the
programs to lookup at 0.0.0.0 ..which should work (for me it does) also
make sure that the machine is running a named and it is working, try to
resolve stuff on it from another machine (you may have to add a listen
option in named.conf to have it listen on the right ip(s)/port(s))

best way to do that is to add it to /etc/hosts, and change your
/etc/resolv.conf so it has this in it:

order local,bind

so it will search hosts before it asks the DNS for host info.
