	What are you using as the DNS forwarder?  named? djbdns?  If you are
	using djbdns, you probably didn't tell dnscache to accept queries from
	remote hosts.

	By default, dnscache does not accept queries from remote hosts. 
	Use 
	     touch /etc/dnscachex/root/ip/1.2.3
	to tell dnscache to accept queries from 1.2.3.*. You can add or 
	remove networks on the fly.
