I didn't look at your tcpdump output but I'd assume it's trying to resolve the in-addr.arpa record for the internal IP address and failing. Try setting up BIND to resolve PTR records for the internal network IP addresses and make sure that the server is configured to look to itself for DNS. Hope

Turn BIND's query logging on and see what it's trying to lookup. You can do this from the shell (as root) by entering ndc querylog. Then take a look at your log files and see exactly what it's doing. As someone pointed out, I would also guess that it's attempting to perform lookups on the IP
