Did you set up a separate instance of dnscache for the LAN? dnscache will
only listen on one IP address, and it sounds like the 127.0.0.1 dnscache
instance is working fine, but there may not be one available for use by
your internal network... - if your machine listens on 172.16.1.1, the
following might work (change the paths for your setup) -
dnscache-conf dnscache dnslog /etc/dnscachex 172.16.1.1 # Create setup
touch /etc/dnscachex/root/ip/172.16.1      # Listen to class C network
ln -s /service/dnscachex /etc/dnscachex    # Link into daemontools
