Thanks Mark.  That may have something to do with it.  I upgraded my 
wireless router to a Linksys E3000 a couple of days ago which is also my 
"firewall".  This thing is a piece of crap!  Lots of weirdness regarding 
port forwarding.  Some works.  Some doesn't.  Tech support is 
worthless.  I'm going to take it back and exchange for another.  
Hopefully a new one will work right.

Anyway, put my previous router/firewall back in place and now my DNS 
server is able to resolve.  Thus the firewalling thing was likely the 
problem.

Any ideas on how to get Bind logging going?

Cheers,

Drew
