This probably isn't related to this problem, but the named from
BIND-8.* doesn't (by default) use port 53 for outgoing queries. It
uses an ephemeral port, which may not work from behind a firewall. You
need to use the query-source option to specify the port which is used
for outbound queries e.g.
options {
query-source address * port 53;
};

There should be a semicolon at the end of each line.

These should be identical, apart from the fact that the second
approach is missing a dot. This may or may not be significant.
