DNS is driving me crazy (need another set of eyes to look at my configuration)

Ok, I made the jump and formatted my win2k box and
installed redhat 9.
Now im having a bear of a time getting my DNS set up.
I have perused a gazillion how-to guides and am
obviously missing something :( Im hoping some kind
soul can help to keep me from going back to the dark
side :P
Basially, I would love another set of eyes to look at
my config to see what I am doing wrong.
Background Info: I used to have my web server,
application server, dns, sendmail and DB on my windows
server and it all worked last week, so I know the
problem is not in my router or my domain itself...
Also, I shut my firewall completely off for this test
so I know it must be my DNS config. (my router is
only granting access to port 80 for web, 53 for DNS
and 22 for SSH)
Finally, I believe DNS is up and running because I can
telnet to localhost 53 and when I grep for "named", I
get:
[root at jomamma root]# ps -ef | grep named
named 5468 1 0 18:47 ? 00:00:01
[named]
root 5649 5622 0 22:13 pts/1 00:00:00 grep
named
I will list my configuration below for convenience...
I will be so happy if anyone can point out ways to
perfect my setup.
Thanks !
For these examples:
1. I am changing my domain to "mydomain"
2. The internal ip address of the linux box is
192.168.1.11.
3. The name servers are ns1.mydomain.com and
ns2.mydomain.com and are are registered with my server
as their ip address (listed as 100.100.100.100 below).
This ip is the external address of my linksys router
which is forwarding port 53 to my server's internal
ip.
4. admin email is admin at mydomain.com
5. server name is jomamma
