non existent host/domain

I just set up a primary dns server using Bind 8 on FreeBSd 4.0.  I also
just registered my domain, got my secondaries set up with
granitecanyon.com, etc.  So, I'm set, sort of.  The main problem that is
happening is I get this when I do 'nslookup mammalia.org':

Server:  localhost.org
Address:  127.0.0.1

*** localhost.org can't find mammalia.org: Non-existent host/domain

It works fine if I do 'nslookup manatee.mammalia.org':

Server:  localhost.org
Address:  127.0.0.1

Name:    manatee.mammalia.org
Address:  216.231.50.6

***Here is my named.conf***

I do apologize for the length of the message, but this way I figure I've
got all bases covered =).
