Hi All, Problem is solved for now. Reindl Harald pointed out that my port 53 is not open. Sure enough I went on the new dns server and issued the command $service iptables stop, and all was working like a charm after that.
Thank you guys, seriously the service you have set up is so valuable for newbies and experienced users alike. Thank you so much everyone and have a terrific rest of the day. I'm sure I'll call on you again as I add zones and try to put this DNS server in production. Thanks again, you are terrific bunch of guys.
