Strange results with dig, this one is wacky!

I don't understand what you mean "not going to the main nameservers". The
name resolves fine when you point dig at the "main nameservers", right? It
returns SERVFAIL when you point it at your local nameserver, right? The
problem is your local nameserver. As I said, look in the logs to see what is
wrong. Or, check your firewall/NAT configuration (presumably you're using a
firewall and/or NAT since 192.168.1.2 is a private address) and/or routing
configuration to verify that your nameserver can communicate with Internet
nameservers.
