Strange Name Server Problem

[Odhiambo Washington]

I have a server running FreeBSD 11.0-STABLE.

I am a little stumped why my local caching bind instance doesn't answer
queries. I have then opted to run bind on port 5353 and unbound on port 53.
I still experience the same problem!

root at waridi:/usr/local/etc/unbound # sockstat -l | grep named
bind     named      50877 20 tcp4   192.168.27.254:5353   *:*

Name resolution takes so long because it has to happen via the ISPs DNS
Servers, which are the 3rd and 4th options in /etc/resolv.conf

I am actually lost as to where to start looking.
