We're getting responses from the root servers, the names just aren't resolving. From a windows NT machine the error is "Non- existent Domain".

Ah, I just noticed something. The packet length for the DNS response is supposed to be 510 bytes but it's being truncated to 128. What the heck would cause that??

The maximum size of a DNS UDP update is 512 bytes, otherwise TCP will be utilized. A SERVFAIL response might very well be only 128 bytes. You might want to make sure your root hints file is correct. -dvd
