Dig -x +trace?

[Greg Choules]

Hi Mike.
OK, let's try and do some practical things here.

Firstly, please share your /etc/resolv.conf
Secondly, please have two windows on the go. In the first, run "tcpdump
-nvi all -w <filename> port 53". In the second, run your dig tests.
Then share your results. If you are reluctant to share *actually* what
happens it will, unfortunately, be very difficult to impossible to diagnose
exactly what's going on.

Does this help for starters?
Cheers, Greg
