Any unknown *.com and *.net address get resolved to 64.94.110.11, since
verisign changed their nameservers.
Your dns server installed on the bering box is talking to the verisign
nameserver for any *.com or *.net address. 
Just change the dns name of your local net to *.loc or *.nl and you are
fine.
