BIND 8 uses a random high numbered port to talk to other
nameservers. BIND 4 uses port 53 to do this. If you have
a firewall that was written for a BIND 4 server between you
and the rest of the world it is most probably blocking the
packets.
You can lock down the port and/or address used with
query-source.
