You might be suffering from the bind 9.8 CNAME issue. See the recent,
repeated discussions in the archives, including a link to a quick
one-line patch you can apply to see if it fixes it.
I know this is a moot point now (since Andrew eventually discovered that
upgrading his Netgear router's firmware fixed the problem), but it was
obvious from the first post of the thread that it was *not* a CNAME
issue, since Andrew was having problems resolving an A record for even
the name "nhs.uk":
Jun 17 12:02:38 eccles named[4689]: client 127.0.0.1#36651: query
failed (SERVFAIL) for nhs.uk/IN/A at query.c:6199
I'm happy for Andrew that his problem is fixed, but it would have been more satisfying to know what
the root cause was. "Upgrading the firmware fixed it" unfortunately doesn't even
necessarily imply that there was a bug in the old version of firmware, since sometimes the mere act
of upgrading a networking device clears out some bogus/corrupted configuration data and thus
"fixes" the problem.
