not certain if you intend it to be, but your 64.135.16.15 machine is not reachable from "outside". an attempt to telnet to port 53 (or 25) gets me "no route to host" and a traceroute ends with:
8 ge2-0.cr1.bct.fl.host.net (64.135.1.9) 34.779ms 35.102ms 35.413ms 9 ge6-1.er8.bct.fl.host.net (64.135.1.58) 34.934ms 34.219ms 35.044ms 10 sunspot.swhi.net (64.135.16.15) 34.653 ms !<10> 34.619 ms !<10>
35.739 ms !<10>so, from the outside, it appears that you have a firewall block (or network configuration problem).
my read is that the block is at the machine, not an edge router, so this may be the source of your problem.
try doing a telnet to port 53 on 64.135.16.15 (based on past messages i think that that's the correct ipnumber) from some local machine and see what you get. if it's listening you should get a connect message (even if there are access restrictions in named.conf). if you get something else, that should give a hint on where to look.

Hi Rick,
Telnetting on port 53 from a machine in the same /24 gives this:
[ray@wh1 ray]$ telnet 64.135.16.15 53 Trying 64.135.16.15... telnet: connect to address 64.135.16.15: No route to host
Thanks for your input. I welcome any suggestions.
Kind regards, ~Ray
