Well I've put localhost as 3rd nameserver to test it
when I'am not connected to the INTERNET.
DNS_CACHE queries on localhost are correct but localhost answer only
for the loopback IP=127.0.0.1,not for the NIC=192.168.x.x to where is
pointing my hostname.

Yes my ISP doesn't know about my hostnames.
About what I'am getting with local queries:
that's shouldn't be true if I'am not connected to INTERNET,
my dns should answer to my local queries,is it?
Many Thanks.
