Soma thanks for your input - by removing bind and playing with
resolv.conf it is apparent that this file was causing certain issues.
I have now installed resolvconf and after rebooting resolvconf
configured only one line in resolv.conf file as follows:
nameserver: 127.0.0.1
Prior to installing resolvconf I had the following setup:
nameserver 213.133.98.97
nameserver 213.133.98.98
nameserver 213.133.98.96
Unfortunately I still have the same problems though even with
resolvconf installed.
Regards
Justin

Is this a fresh bind install? Or have you made any changes to the configs?
A fresh install should resolve names normally. Also, do you have
resolveconf installed? It will swtich out your /etc/resolv.conf file when
you start up bind, take note of what is in there beofre and after
you start up bind, maybe something in there is messing things up.
