Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
I have a bunch of questions come to mind when thinking about what could be causing this problem. What is the exact tcpdump line you used? Is the BIND server really not sending any replies at all? If it is, please can you do another tcpdump and include them? If you're really not getting any responses, please could you use dig or host to generate a DNS query that does work so that we can see it in the tcpdump output to verify that it is working as expected? Could you please attach /etc/resolv.conf from the machine running puppet? You say that the problem goes away when querying your Windows DNS servers directly. Could you please post an equivalent tcpdump for comparison? Marking as Incomplete pending answers to these questions. Please change the bug status back to New after you have responded.
