BIND problem

Hi,
I installed a FreeBSD 5.2.1 with BIND. I'll use BIND only for caching DNS 
for the clients. The server has two interfaces; 192.0.0.1 is the IP of the 
internal interface. I made below changes:
/etc/rc.conf :
named_enable=”YES”

cd /etc/namedb
sh make-localhost

/etc/namedb/named.conf  :
forwarders
{
195.238.50.254;
195.238.40.45;
212.156.4.4
};

/etc/resolv.conf :
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 192.0.0.1

When I do "ndc start" the server resolves the URLs in a funny manner: E.g it 
always resolves addresses like www.cnn.com, www.hughes.com, www.ferrari.com, 
etc. But it NEVER resolves www.microsoft.com, www.yahoo.com. And it 
SOMETIMES resolves www.google.com.

Each time I issue the DNS query at two different prompts like below:
- nslookup www.microsoft.com 195.238.50.254
- nslookup www.microsoft.com

where, the first one always succeeds, whereas the second one fails with:
Server: dmtgate
Address: 192.0.0.1

*** Request to dmtgate timed-out

Any ideas ?
Cheers
