This is getting absurd.

The original problem was about people getting content from one EXTERNAL
site when they had actually requested a completely different EXTERNAL
site.

In order for ISA to provide ANY content, it must first perform name
lookups for the site being requested (www.google.com).

In order for this to occur, it must contact a DNS server that can either
provide this name-to-IP mapping or it also must contact a DNS server
that can.

This cannot happen while "port 53 is blocked".

I can resolve the site with the dns which is hosted insite, and the
blocked port is the port to the internet, only port 80 and 21 are opend
to the internet, port 53 can go to the internet dns server.
