You need to make sure your DNS servers are listed by the sounds of things.
NO?

DNS is for name resolution, would only apply if he tried to resolve the IP by cononical name. Example would be to:
ping www.fark.com and getting a request time out or not reachable.

If you ping the IP directly, and are not getting a response, that would be a gateway issues, not DNS.

When you ping google, akadns should reply with something like:
spam:~# ping www.google.com
