Why are you using forwarders in your named.conf?  Go to the root servers 
and you should get correct answers.

Dump your server's cache to see where these bogus answers are coming 
from.

Are you sure the bogosity is coming from DNS in the first place?  What 
does "dig" show when you look up a site's IP address?
