I seem to have realised part of the problem, i did an nslookup for google and got this output:
nslookup google.com Server: 19x.xx.1x3.x Address: 19x.xx.1x3.x#53 ** server can't find google.com: NXDOMAIN and my named.run log shows this 04-Aug-2010 20:23:15.148 queries: info: client 19x.xx.1x3.x#37192: view internal: query: google.com.me.co.ug IN A + (19x.xx.1x3.x). I have realised my query is appending my "me.co.ug" domain to the query to Google, what could be causing this?
