Now when the server starts it hangs for aboutn 5 minutes when the "starting

Just because you can ping a nameserver doesn't mean that the name server
is there (or available for you).

You can easily test by using some other nameserver (unless you have some
firewall restrictions somewhere). For example, does the following work for
you?

Thanks Jeremy! You made me go back and look at the firewall rules again. Sure enough I was only accepting upd 53 from the name servers on the development lan. Once I changed the rule everything worked as I expected.
