Run tcpdump on the gateway machine on the internal link. Check if
you see any DNS requests coming by.

Run tcpdump on the gateway machine on the external link. Check if
you see any DNS requests coming by, with valid IP addresses. This
means: the ones from your IP internet-address, not from the IP
lan-domain. I think that you're not doing NAT on your box.
