As other have said, /var/log/messages is a good place to start diagnosing
the problem.  If you want more detailed help from people on the list it
would be useful if you could tell us exactly what doesn't work, and post
some more details of your system/network configuration and perhaps your
named.conf and zone files.

The O'Reilly "DNS and BIND" book (thoe one with the grasshopper on the
cover) generally comes highly recommended for anyone running a DNS server.

Cheers,
