Restart named. ("#/etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart;") Then, test as follows, 
when logged into DNS system: 

nslookup - localhost 
> mydomain.com.

Notice the dot at the end of the domain. It'll either work or tell you that it 
didn't. If it works, your DNS server is set up. If not, your DNS server isn't 
as properly configured as you think.
