Root Name Servers won't respond to named.

[Milton Calnek]

I can't seem to get my named working (bind-8.2.3-0.6.x on RH 6.x).
I've added as much debuging info as I could... but it is either
incomprehensible to be or doesn't tell me anything (occurances of both).

In particular, I get the hints zone loaded (I read it in the syslog).
I see outbound traffic to the root name servers.

It doesn't seem network related because:
1. I can put other name servers in resolv.conf and my hosts work.
2. I have used ipchains and tcpdump to watch packets and they do leave
   my system properly.
3. Others services work from my network (web, icq, unreal tournament, etc).
4. I can traceroute to the route namer servers.

I could use (I think) the forwarders to provide name service for my network and let
some other name server provide name service for the internet... but I'd rather
make named work for me here.
 
Any ideas on what to look at? Error messages that would clue me into the problem?

Thanks.
