You have not told your server about the root servers. You should have a
statement that looks something like this in your named.conf:
zone "." {
type hint;
file "root.cache";
};
with the appropriate records in root.cache, which you can get with this
command:
$ dig @198.41.0.4
Without the addresses of the root servers, your server does not know
where to go to resolve other domains.
