Can you do a lookup against that nameserver?

Something like:

	% nslookup - 192.168.1.254

	Default Server:  foobar.yournetwork.com
	Address:  192.168.1.254

	> yahoo.com
	Server:  foobar.yournetwork.com
	Address:  192.168.1.254

	Non-authoritative answer:
	Name:    yahoo.com
	Addresses:  66.94.234.13, 216.109.112.135

	> exit

I'd be interested in know whether or not that work
before hazarding any other guesses.
