Thanks I see that it is running dns on 53, but the performance is
sporadic. I get:

--- Found authoritative nameserver: dns2.rjo.virtua.com.br
--- contacting nameserver: dns2.rjo.virtua.com.br [201.17.0.15]
--- Start of authority: a.root-servers.net
--- contacting nameserver: a.root-servers.net [198.41.0.4]

Got answer:
HEADER:
    opcode = QUERY (0), id = 6, rcode = Name Error (3)
    header flags: (0x8503) response, auth. answer, want recursion
    questions = 1, answers = 0, authority records = 1, additional = 0

QUESTIONS:
    201.17.0.19, type = 255, class = IN
AUTHORITY RECORDS:
->
    start of authority
    origin = A.ROOT-SERVERS.NET
    mail addr = NSTLD at VERISIGN-GRS.COM
    serial = 2007072600
    refresh = 1800 (30 mins)
    retry = 900 (15 mins)
    expire = 604800 (7 days)
    minimum ttl = 86400 ()
    ttl = 86400 ()

when it responds, but then other times it doesn't respond at all. Of
course that could be network problems between here and there, but you
might want to keep checking it for awhile and or try 14 or 15 in place
of 19.
