Given that your resolv.conf only has 127.0.0.1 listed as a nameserver,
this tends to indicate that named is either not running locally or it is
responding very slowly. You might want to try running named with
query-logging enabled (set the channel and log 'queries' to a separate
file). This should then show you what queries it is receiving and how it
is handling them.
