well that's my problem with bind. once i cut myself to the internet i can't resolve all domain. i did this as a test i ping google.com first while i am connected to the net and then i disconnect my cable and try to ping it again but it can't resolve google.com anymore, my resolve.conf is "nameserver 127.0.0.1", and i don't know how to configure bind to cache domain's ip addressess at least 1 day or so.
This seems like normal behavior to me. If by "cut myself to the internet", you mean physical disconnection (or all ports blocked), then how would ping receive a reply from google.com? You may be able to make DNS lookup requests, with dig or nslookup, but ping requires an actual connection to the address being queried, which it seems to be disconnected for you (dialup?).
