Have you set up your DNS to be master of your local zone, e.g. 
"mylocal.net" & "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa"? This is very important.

If you did and it still doesn't work try to uncomment the following line 
  like this and test it again:

# forwarders { 192.116.YY.XX; 127.0.0.1; };

I also think the localhost address here is not necessary. Is 
192.116.YY.XX a valid nameserver?

Have you checked you /var/log/messages after named startup with 'grep 
bind /var/log/messages'??? Maybe there are startup problems. You can 
post the output of this command here if you think there are some errors.
