One way to tell is whether you get results for 

  #host www.test.com 127.0.0.1

Another would be to check that "allow-recursion" is setup for 127.0.0.1
in named.conf.  Finally look for the zone "*.*" in named.conf.

I would also verify that the "forwards" section of named.conf has the
correct upstream nameservers identified.

By most defaults, there will be 1 sendmail process to listen to port
eth0 port 25, and 2nd process to handle /var/spool/clientmqueue/.
Additionally sendmail will spawn processes (up until
max_daemon_children) to handle queue delivery.  Is it possible that the
senmail upgrade overwrote your previous sendmail.cf file?  Check the
date on /etc/mail/sendmail.cf

That could be your problem.  Sendmail should allow simultaneous inbound
connections (up to connection_rate_throttle).  Is the Java app doing a
lot of dns lookups?  Is the Java app server DNS-resolvable from the
sendmail box?
