The first two nameserver entries in my resolv.conf contains IPv4 127.0.0.1 and IPv6 ::1 > Does the 'test' address work?

Beside this i tried disabling my firewall for a moment of second to doublecheck if my firewall has problem. No changes, still not reaching zen.spamhaus.org. UDP/TCP 53 is open at switch/router-level and my server too.
