Thanks to everyone for replying to me on this. The answer was provided to me
in a reply from Olaf M. Kolkman, the maintainer for NET::DNS:
All these tests are skipped for good reasons, you do not have to
worry about them.
The IP address is the IP address of your box. Its a private IP
address, an indication that you may be using a NAT. Being behind a
NAT is a common case for failure.
If I understand NAT correctly my DSL modem is also acting as a router thus
providing the Network Address Translation.

Likely. That is what I have. I run the name server on the same machine
as SpamAssassin so it's 127.0.0.1 rather than the external address.
(And yes, I do know I am a bad girl for mixing firewall and servers on
the same machine.)

Thats what I thought. I changed my resolv.conf to show nameserver
127.0.0.1
did a network restart, but the Net::DNS tests are determined to use
192.168.1.2, I wonder if a system restart is needed?
Does resolv.conf STILL show local host?
And does your local host also support a caching server for the whole
internet? That's the usual setup you need.

If it's just one of the test that's failing then you might just want to try installing it anyways. It could be that the particular test is buggy.

It is seeing the correct name server. You might want to blow away the cached files (make clean) or re-download the module (CPAN after blowing away the original source files). It's possible that the make process created a cache file containing the 192.x.x.x IP and it keeps using that one instead of getting the proper information for resolv.conf.

RE: Net::DNS install assistance
You mentioned firewall. Is it possible that you are not opening up the
right connections to localhost or to the 192.x.x.x machine?
We tend to mix firewall and server software on the same machine from
many small small clients. I'm assuming that you are using iptables.
Did you open up lo for all traffic to and from itself? Port 53 tcp and
udp to/through the firewall?
You can test if the resolv.conf is pointing to the proper location after
the change. Just run a nslookup and see which server it wants to pickup

I was in the process of upgrading my Net::DNS module from .48 to .53 and I
noticed the following during tests:
t/00-load..ok

t/01-resolver-env..ok

I'm particulary concerned by the last test - Cannot run tests from
192.168.1.2. I assume, and I'm not sure, that its reading nameserver info
from my resolv.conf:
nameserver 192.168.1.2

# nameserver 207.217.120.83

nameserver 207.69.188.185
nameserver 207.69.188.186
nameserver 207.69.188.187
Should there be a different ip, ie..127.0.0.1 instead of 192.168.1.2?
Likely. That is what I have. I run the name server on the same machine
