glen,
for your dns box to work it needs to have a route to the root servers and
authoritative servers. or at least a route to your isp's dns.
if you are behind a nat box, point your dns machine's default route to it's
"internal" ip address.
you might also want to try this in named.conf:
forwarders { isp.dns.address.here; };
forward only;
this forwards all requests to your isp's dns. makes life easier for your
dns.
