Local DNS does not query

[Chris Boyd]

I'm not all that up on DNS but I thought that if the local dns could not find a record it would search the forwarders and then root. 
Now I can get an A record in dig for everything on the local server as well as any other domain. I cannot, however, get it to resolve for usit addresses (like intranet.usit.ie) outside the local dns server. 
Here's my config:

named.conf 
options {

        # The directory statement defines the name server's working directory

        directory "/var/lib/named";

        
        dump-file "/var/log/named_dump.db";
        statistics-file "/var/log/named.stats";

        
        forwarders { 82.195.128.132; 82.195.128.192;};
 query-source address * port 53;
        transfer-source * port 53;
        notify-source * port 53;

        # The allow-query record contains a list of networks or IP addresses
        # to accept and deny queries from. The default is to allow queries
        # from all hosts.

        allow-query { 127.0.0.1; 10.133.0.0/16;};

        notify yes;
};

zone "." in {
        type hint;
        file "root.hint";
};

zone "localhost" in {
        type master;
        file "localhost.zone";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" in {
        type master;
        file "127.0.0.zone";
};
zone "usit.ie" in {
        type master;
        file "usit.zone";
        #allow-query {10.133.1.230;};
};

usit.zone:

$ORIGIN usit.ie.
