I installed bind and it removed my problems (that is, it is only a
workaround), but do you have a db.navel in /etc/bind containing the same
as db.local except that the second last lines is:

@       IN      NS      navel.

and in named.conf
zone "navel" {
        type master;
        file "/etc/bind/db.navel";
};

?

If not try it :-)

order hosts, bind

does not seem to have an effect, neither do

hosts:          files dns

in /etc/nsswitch.conf

Hope it helps.
