Assuming your running public DNS, it´s better if you can work with 2nd 
level domains that are known to the root-servers.net:

C:\>dig arc.net

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> arc.net
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4
;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 12, ADDITIONAL: 12
;; QUERY SECTION:

>   This is a canonical name for "www.fwb.org".

C:\>dig fwb.org

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> fwb.org
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4
;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 12, ADDITIONAL: 12
;; QUERY SECTION:
;;      fwb.org, type = A, class = IN
