I am having a local dns server that resolves the ips for my lan but when it try to resolve an ip it give me dns timeout error and also resolves the IP what can the the problem, below is the output of nslookup command on windows.

C:\Documents and Settings\Imran>nslookup bsd.thelakecity.com.pk
Server: darkstar.thelakecity.com.pk
Address: 192.168.0.3

DNS request timed out.
timeout was 2 seconds.
Name: darkstar.thelakecity.com.pk
Address: 192.168.0.3
Aliases: bsd.thelakecity.com.pk

I assume the DNS server is a FreeBSD machine with BIND, yes?

Check whether a lookup for that name works on the server itself.
If not, make sure you have named(8) actually running.
If so, make sure the Windows machine's DNS requests are actually
getting to the server.
