If your machine is supposed to be the master, you should check that it is set up to answer authoratively for your domain to at least the authorative slaves and preferably to the world. Check that any firewalling of port 53 udp *and* tcp is turned off while you're at it. These are at least some of the more common errors. Good luck with the debugging! -- Peter N. M.
