Check your named.conf file for what hosts you allowing.  Otherwise, your 
name server will not talk to them.

root at satellite etc # cat bind/named.conf 
options {
        directory "/var/bind";

        // uncomment the following lines to turn on DNS forwarding,
        // and change the forwarind ip address(es) :
        //forward first;
        //forwarders {
        //      123.123.123.123
        //      123,123.123.123;
        //};

        // to allow only specific hosts to use the DNS server:
        allow-query {
                127.0.0.1;
                24.166.190.52;
                192.168.1.0;
                24.166.189.124;
        };
