Forgive me, but does the country block access to the root Internet 
servers?  If so, wouldn't it only cache information that is 
available...i.e., if his DNS server can't get the IP's for those sites 
because his upstream has it blocked, he could only get the crippled 
available IPs from those within the country?

I knew they blocked things in the country using proxies, but I didn't 
(and don't) know the full range of the blocking that's done...my first 
thoughts were that he was inviting trouble by discussing trying to get 
to these sites on a public mailing list, wondering if "they" were 
watching and noting his attempt to subvert their blocking.  Maybe 
someday they'll come to their senses and drop the Internet censorship 
:-)
