Strange DIG behavior on Windows 10: - SOLVED (sorta)

[Timothy Metzinger]

One machine had resolv.conf in ISC BIND 9\etc, the other didn't.

So I suspect that in spite of the release notes about resolv.conf not being needed... it really is.  Perhaps it isn't if you install the full BIND service but is needed if you only install the tools.

I see NO outgoing bits on the wire, bolstering my theory that DIG isn't finding name servers in the registry.  NSLOOKUP works fine.   There's no difference between the working and non working PC in the name servers listed in all the interfaces in ifconfig /all.   Registry values for HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip\parameters\dhcpnameserver are identical.

I've deinstalled and reinstalled BIND.  This is so weird.

Trust the bits on the wire.

What sort of outgoing DNS queries do you see when you run dig on the problematic system without specifying the DNS server?

Can you find that server listed anywhere in the output of ifconfig /all? 
  (I think that's the command, it's been too long.)
