That's what I thought...the initial "can't find server address 127.0.0.1"
isn't coming from the external server...it's coming from your system.
127.0.0.1 is the loopback address, also referred to as "localhost"...your
system. That error comes up because A) you have 127.0.0.1 listed in your
resolv.conf and B) you don't have named running on that machine.
Remove 127.0.0.1 from /etc/resolv.conf, and that part of your problem will
go away.
