9.3.0rc2 and External Queries

I setup 9.3.0rc2 to be a secondary nameserver for some domains.
It would resolve those domains just fine, but nothing external.
So I followed the documentation and did a very basic cache-only
setup (see my named.conf below), and external queries still do
not work properly.  Any ideas?

PS- I stopped ipchains to make sure it was not the problem.


# /usr/local/sbin/named -v
BIND 9.3.0rc2

# cat /etc/named.conf

options {
        directory "/var/named";
};

zone "." {
        type hint;
        file "named.root";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "db.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa";
        allow-update { none; };
        notify no;
};

# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
nameserver [my_ip_address]
domain [my_domain_name]

# /etc/init.d/ipchains stop
# /usr/local/sbin/named -c /etc/named.conf

# nslookup -sil www.yahoo.com
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached


Thanks,
