Well, one thing is sure. You love to type. Not a single shortcut ;-)

Anyhow, couple of stupid questions. Have you updated serial number after adding portal's record on the master? Did you reloaded master? Where is that "host" command attempting to resolve portal's address? Master? Slave (do you have any slaves)? Some other DNS server? Would be helpfull if you included output of dig command (instead of host command).
