Tell us more. Show us more.

Is your named bound to the IP (at port 53) as expected? Use netstat -an, 
sockstat, lsof, fstat to see.

How are you testing? Show us your dig output from same system running 
named. Also from remote system if you are testing from a client.

Make sure allow-query, allow-query-cache, allow-recursion are set as 
required.
