Resolving MX records

Hi

I'm having a problem resolving the MX record for one domain name.  I 
tested several others and they worked.  This is the only domain name I 
found a problem with.  I did a dig on another machine and it works.

I'm using bind bind-9.2.5-1 on 2.6.11-1.27_FC3 #1 on machine 1.  I've been 
having this problem for a couple days.  This came to pass because people 
can not send emails to this domain.  I can ping it and do a dig on the 
domain, but if I try to do a dig on the domain name's MX I don't get any 
answers.  Any ideas?  

thanks
Dean
