Check /etc/named.conf. It sounds like you have the default file that
only allows queries from the local system. I was "off the air" for most
of a day when I installed the last bind update because of this. My
named.conf got replaced with the default and I had the same symptoms.
The new one *should* have been installed as .rpmnew so the files could
get merged without taking people down. Grrrr.
If you can't find a reference on the 'net for configuring named.conf,
drop a private e-mail to me and I'll ship a copy of what I use your way.
Cheers,
Dave
