Do I understand your problem right: You set your samba host as 
forwarder? Then this is the issue.

Set 'dns forwarder = 8.8.8.8' in your smb.conf (+ restart) and put 
'nameserver 10.10.70.10' in your /etc/resolv.conf.

'dns forwarder' lists the DNS servers, where requests are send to, the 
samba server can't answer from it's own zones.
