Thanks to all that responded, my nameservers are working fine, and the general
consensus seems to be to run my nameservers independent of the ISP. I do need
to get my ISP to delegate authority for my small block of IP address (/28) so
the reverse lookups resolve to my domain names rather than my ISP.
