Daniele, It may be a simple case of your firewall not allowing any DNS queries that do not request recursion. Difficult to know.
You may want to try: dig +trace www.isc.org This will follow the referrals from the root, and you can verify that this works. The next step may be to try: dig +trace +dnssec www.isc.org This will ask for DNSSEC, which will mean enabling EDNS0 and getting bigger response packets, both of which can cause problems with broken middleboxes (although BIND 9 should work even in those cases).
