Can't ping the BIND NS Server?

Hi :
I am trying to configure my BIND Dns server, ns1.komodo.com (IP
65.119.31.58). Just a very basic question!  I have a IP range 65.119.31.33 -
65.119.31.63 Subnet  255.255.255.224.

On the BIND NS ns1.komodo.com, I can use HOST or DIG to resolve other domain
name e.g www.yahoo.com. I can ping any IP on the Internet. However, if I use
another Name Server on a different domain to ping the BIND server
ns1.komodo.com, it comes back with "Unknown Host ns1.komodo.com". It just
wouldn't ping anything on that BIND NS. No other NS can ping this server!
This ns1.komodo.com is registered with Internic! The Named services started
fine. Restart it too! Seems fine.
I tried to compare with other examples of the DNS file. Just can't seems to
figure out what's wrong! I have tried for a few days trying to resolve this
problem!
Can someone help? Attached is my Reverse file, Named.Conf file. Thanks so
much!
