What hostname/s are you using in your check?  You should use a
name that the server is willing to return an answer for when it
is configured not to do recursion, i.e. in a zone your DNS
server actually hosts.

If the name you're checking is hosted by that server and therefore
should be answered regardless of the recursion setting, then it
sounds like there's something wrong with the DNS server's setup...
