Your name server does resolve freebsd.org and google.com but not 
microsoft.com or yahoo.com. Sounds like a feature rather than a bug.

More seriously, it's worth eliminating the possibility that this is a 
problem with your forwarders. Try dig @[forwarder] www.microsoft.com

They're probably OK, but until you do this you don't really know which 
machine has the problem.

There's higher latency on satellite connections. If queries are timing 
out rather than failing, it could be an issue.
