What do you get doing a 'dig +trace nhs.uk' from your recursive
nameserver?  Could it be a firewall or routing problem stopping you
contacting the authoritative nameservers for nhs.uk  -- can you
traceroute / mtr to 194.176.105.223 and 80.2.101.230 ? Can you

   dig @80.2.101.230 www.nhs.uk

and similarly for the other nameserver address?

        Cheers,

        Matthew
