Use "dig" or "nslookup" to debug what your nameserver is doing,  
perhaps your clients aren't permitted to talk to the named process...?

Check /var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf for a listen-on line, and  
change that from 127.0.0.1 to your local subnet, or comment it out  
entirely, depending on what you want to do.
