Are you forwarding your queries to a third party DNS?

Not intentionally. Am I doing so out of ignorance?
Maybe.
I'm a lone individual working from a home computer
and Time-Warner cable is my ISP. Do DNS queries
normally go to Time-Warner first? I don't know.
I assume that whenever I do an Internet search in
a web browser that I'm using Time-Warner's DNS
servers. Therefore it would make sense to me that
I'm using Time-Warner for other DNS queries too.
Thank you for pointing out the forwarding issue. I'll try
to figure out a way to look into this.
/etc/resolv.conf is where you'd start. If that says localhost (which it
should to use a local nameserver), then look at the configuration of your
local DNS server (likely BIND, likely /etc/bind/named.conf or
/etc/named/named.conf).
