You have to allow the DNS server to send and receive TCP and UDP
packets on its query port. If you're using BIND-8.*, add e.g.
options {
query-source address * port 54;
};
to named.conf. For BIND-4.*, named uses port 53 for making queries.
NB: you should be running a DNS server inside the firewall rather than
allowing all hosts to perform external DNS lookups.
