What OS are you running? I'm only familiar with Linux (CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu specifically).

If you're using Linux, comment out the 2 lines you have and try this:

search=yourdomain.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1
nameserver 195.234.42.1

My /etc/resolv.conf:

# No nameservers found; try putting DNS servers into your
# ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like so:
#
# DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DNS2=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DOMAIN=lab.foo.com bar.foo.com
DNS1=127.0.0.1
DNS2=195.234.42.1

That is weird. Mine says:

search super.newwebsite.com
nameserver 4.2.2.1
nameserver 12.127.17.71

Obviously yours may be different but your format is even different.

You also should not have 127.0.0.1. Search this forum as to why you should not be running a caching nameserver.
