	There are two obvious possibilites that I can think of.

	1) You're not waiting long enough.
		It can take quite a while for names to resolve in this
                way... I'm not really sure why, but at home it often takes
                30 seconds to a minute to start resolving properly.  From
                then on it's pretty good.  My resolv.conf only references
                the local server.

        2) Your forwarding setup is wrong.
                Try rechecking the howto...  yep.  I mean again.

	As a test you may wish to try disabling the uq servers in your
	resolv.conf.

        I will not play it.  This game of loneliness
