Anyone got any ideas? For local domains, I agree with Pascal. Avoid using ".local" because it can conflict/interfere with avahi-zeroconf: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.local For remote domains, just try using another DNS servers (OpenDNS ones or Google's) and see what happens. If you can browse the web, you'll have to check your local DNS server logs to see what is happening with the requests coming from your Squeeze box.
