Thanks for the reply, Kevin.
I've taken your suggestion and posted the results here.  Unfortunately, the 
outcome suggests that it is not a firewall issue.  I am allowing queries out 
on port 53 and keeping the state.  Here's the outcome:

[root at router]# dig @ISP's nameserver#1 isc.org

Any other suggestions?
