dns not responding after yum update

[Lordmundi]

I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to dns and bind... but I did have
something working in the lab under Centos 4.3.  After doing a "yum
update" to centos 4.6, the dns server is no longer responding to
outside requests.  I noticed in the yum log that some bind packages
were updated, but I really have no idea what is going on.

the sympton:
[10:55:22am - asus-laptop - ~] dig @192.168.2.3 tails

; <<>> DiG 9.4.1-P1 <<>> @192.168.2.3 tails
; (1 server found)
;; global options:  printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached


the tests:
[root at mario ~]$ service named restart

can anyone see anything obvious here without me posting my
named.conf?  any ideas about something that may have changed in the
last couple of years that will require some changes/updates/additions
to my config file?
