Well, I never let my read of these files suffice.  You should check them 
with the tools from bind:
named-checkconf
nemed-checkzone

If they pass those tests, then check the resolution using just a single ip 
that is NOT jailed on this server using dig or nslookup.  If those are 
working then adjust your jails.

If you go step-by-step you will quickly get it working.
