Unable to access virtual server over port 53
I currently have virtual server set up a load balance across three DNS servers. If I issue command "nslookup www.google.com [IP of VS]" from a client machine I'm getting a DNS request time out error....

I notice that your virtual server is setup for UDP. When the response for a DNS query contains more records than can fit in a single UDP packet, it will leverage TCP instead to send the query. Try resolving a simple query that has only one record to test the theory. If this is the case, you'll need to setup a second virtual server at the same address and port using the TCP protocol as well to support both paradigms.
