Jeff,
The above is not the configuration file. As others have pointed out,
there is no way to know why a SERVFAIL was returned without that and
other important information.
But you will NEVER be able to resolve the name "jeffdiss.org" with the
zone file you included. Why is that? Because you never defined an
address for that name! That would require either an A record with a
blank left hand side before all the other A records, or one with "@" in
the LHS.
And speaking of missing A records, what is the IP address of
"mail.jeffdiss.org"? Nobody will ever know, given this zone file.
As Tom Lehrer famously said, life is like a sewer: what you get out of
it depends on what you put into it. Same with DNS - only a bit more
pleasant, one might hope.
I hope this starts to help.
