Did the berkeley's ICSI Netalyzr test on a Win XP (Java 7) machine
behind my Debian gateway running Squeeze, got following results:

Direct probing of DNS resolvers (?) –
Your system is configured to use 1 DNS resolver(s).
The resolver at 192.168.0.1 (phys-dns51) could not process the following tested 
types:

     * Medium (~1300B) TXT records
     * Large (~3000B) TXT records

It validates DNSSEC. It does not wildcard NXDOMAIN errors. The resolver reports 
a number of additional properties. Hide them.

Most likely, either your gateway is blocking connections to TCP port 53, 
or your ISP/upstream nameservers won't accept TCP connections.

Try something like

dig +vc <somedomain>

to test this.
