1. your serving dns on your port 53, internal address
192.168.1.154, but did you open a hole from your
external (the real ip) to your dns server? You
need responses from the nameservers of the internet
too (probably explains why you can't go to yahoo.com).
..try to port forward both udp/tcp from the outside
world to your dns server if you havent done it yet.
2. I dont understand your localhost zone; your defining
hosts in localhost so it appears yur creating ns.localhost
here. Also your making server154.xxxx.net SOA for localhost,
that doesnt look right.
I suggest leave the defaults for localhost, and make
sure at least caching-nameserver functionality works.
THEN define your own zones separately (if you want your
own zones).
if xxxx.net is yours, its better to put that in a
separate zone of its own. If xxxx.net is not yours
and server154.xxxx.net is yours, then what you want to
probably do is tell them to delagate NS to you so you
can build subdomains under server154.xxxx.net (you'll
need to define your own zone server154.xxxx.net).
[EMAIL PROTECTED] is also wrong, that needs to be gpar.xxxx.net.
