Is there a tinydns or dns wizard that could give me some hints, please?

I am setting up and testing tinydns, but have some problems figuring out 
how to route. I do get dnscache to listen on tinydns.  Also I do not 
understand why it will not answer the given ip (127.0.0.1) to the name 
server.

1. Both services are up running and seems to be working fine, so why no 
reply, (on the first query/reply below)?

2. I am behind a firewall/router and have dynamic ip address from my 
isp. Can I set up the name server to be dynamic or how can I solve this 
by routing?


--config info

Dnscache is listening to the local nic 192.168.1.102
tinydns is listening to the local nic 192.168.1.100

Here's the query to dnscache where no ip given back:

# dnsqr a test.example.net
1 test.example.net:
34 bytes, 1+0+0+0 records, response, noerror
query: 1 test.example.net

# dnsqr a server1.test.example.net
1 server1.test.example.net:
58 bytes, 1+1+0+0 records, response, noerror
query: 1 server1.test.example.net
answer: server1.test.example.net 86400 A 192.168.1.102

# cat /etc/dnscache/log/main/current | grep tx
