What happens if you change your resolv.conf to google's dns ?
I haven't tried this, but from reports, spamhaus.org blocks google's dns. [The traffic limits are too high. If they didn't, no one would buy a commercial zone transfer license...]
So, while it's not likely to fix this problem, even if it were, it seems like your "solution" to the broken DNS server is to use someone else's DNS server.
So, yeah, I could drive the neighbor's car when mine doesn't work. But that doesn't fix my car.
I'm interested in fixing mine, or at least understanding how and why it's broken.
Thanks for your time and thoughts though.
I think the point was to test using a different DNS in order to verify that the problem is with your DNS server before you spend a lot of time on it.
Unfortunately, this is not going to work in your case for the stated reasons.
