1)  What's in the log files during a query?
2)  Also try dig @127.0.0.1 nyt.com (or *whichever interface dnscache is
    listening on*) in case there are resolution problems for "localhost".
3)  As Charles said, process-trace dnscache while a query is in effect.
4)  Network sniff both the local interface and-or the external interface
    while a query is in effect.
