A question about bind?

Hello,
I have been running bind for about a year or so, and am running version
bind-8.2.2P5-1mdk, from mandrake 7.0. I am in the process of upgrading,
and ran into a few problems. So I ended up putting it back to keep it
working and try to figure out how to trouble shoot it. With a working
setup I tryed to query the server directly with the host utility, and it
will not anwser?? I know the server is working, because all domains on
the server will resolve if you let your default dns server take care of
it. It has been up for a few week since I put it back, so I know that
the answers are not laying around in the cache of othier dns servers.
Here is what it is doing:
[jtwatson at Smokey jtwatson]$ host -a www.datakota.com
Trying "www.datakota.com"
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 14346

Trying "ns3.datakota.com"
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
[jtwatson at Smokey jtwatson]$
Why when I try to ask the server directly does it fail??? I need to be
able to ask the server directly, because when I change to a new server,
I need to be able to test without worring about old cached anwsers!
Any help will be great!
Thanks
Joseph
