Host/nslookup/dig queries wrong server

[Duncan Berriman]

How do I check which one it is? I can't see any option to tell me.

It should be which ever one comes with Fedora 10 or Centos 5.4 and appears
to be the following on Centos

bind-libs-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2
bind-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2
bind-utils-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2
bind-chroot-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_4.2

And the following on Fedora 10
 
bind-9.5.1-2.P2.fc10.i386
bind-libs-9.5.1-2.P2.fc10.i386
bind-utils-9.5.1-2.P2.fc10.i386
bind-chroot-9.5.1-2.P2.fc10.i386
