Is this the full contents of your named.conf? How are you configuring
your intranet? Static or using bind?
If this is the full named.conf I believe that it's a bind related
problem you are feeling and not a diald one.
For later versions of bind you don't even need the above line unless
your diald machine is behind a firewall wich I doubt due to it's
nature.
You must, at least, have your intranet machines correctly set up using
bind and add as forwarders the IPs of your ISP DNS servers.
Use the latest version possible for bind and get a look at the DNS
HOWTO (although long it's easy to follow and has some usefull examples
you can tweak for your needs).
Diald is working fine, it's just trying to connect to a working DNS
server, and when you force it down without completion it is forced
right back up to finish the DNS query.
I think that this is the problem, if not, I appologize.
