BIND stops resolving some hostnames

Have you tried uninstalling the BIND RPMs and building from the
source? Mixing 8.2.2-P5 and 8.2.3 seems a little bit risky to me.

Other than that, tried using dig? And nslookup _should_ behave like a
normal resolver, only falling back to TCP if the response comes back
with the TC bit set. Mind the "should" emphasization. There is a lot
of things that nslookup doesn't do the way one would expect it to.
