I didn't do anything weird (i guess :-) with my host configuration. Anyway,
here it is attached. The two remote nameservers i'm using are two main
nameservers of Poland's largest telecommunications company. My local
nameserver is almost out-of-the-box Debian's squid, with only one zone added
and forwarders equal to the ones in /etc/resolv.conf.

It seems that the problem is that out of the remote nameservers that are
queried (see tcpdump's output attached to my first post) only one responds
and there is some kind of error in that response anyway.

Marcin
