I had a similarly unexplained problem a few months ago when I added a
domain that I wasn't authoritative for to my DNS search path in
resolv.conf.
I have my named set up to be authoritative for brunson.com, but added
l3.net to the search path because I'm too lazy to type those extra 6
characters. :-)
Long story short, my diald stopped connecting, and when I removed it
from the search path it fixed it.
I've been curious as to an explanation. These two problems sound
related.
In the meantime, you might try making your named authoritative for the
machines on your network (just maintain forward and reverse zones, you
don't have to register them with the root nameservers). This might
fix it.
