DSL/DNS Confusion

I am struck after working on my DSL/DNS configuration for a couple of months. 
I have read and re-read Bind Admin Manual, what seems like hundreds of posts, 
visited various DNS tutorial sites and made numerous attempts to adapt the 
examples. 

I am simply at a point where I do not know what else to try or do. I have not 
been able to resolve, these errors:

Feb 24 15:10:58 roxie named[7212]: zone benu.widge.org/IN: refresh: failure 
trying master 64.49.244.135#53: timed out

failure trying master 64.49.244.135#53: timed outFeb 24 15:01:46 roxie last

Feb 24 15:01:46 roxie named[7212]: zone blackdiamond.widge.org/IN: refresh: 
retry limit for master 64.49.244.135#53 exceeded

(This dns host allows transfers and the (allow) flag is on and points back to 
the external ip address. I have checked firewall and it appears to be OK and 
the command line axfr works. ) 

And, how to correctly configure the domains: benu/blackdiamond.widge.org and 
rescue911design.com to use the dynamically assigned ip on eth1. Presently, I 
have simply entered the external ip address in the benu/blackdiamon.widge.org 
and rescue911design.com zone files.

My goal is to set up:

Home lan = blkdiamonds.lan w/ 192.168.2/24 (eth0)
Web = benu.widge.org w/ dynamic ip (eth1)
Web = blackdiamond.widge.org w/ dynamic ip (eth1)
Web = rescue911design.com w/dynamic ip (eth1)

All files are at http://www.blackdiamond.widge.org:82/bind_files. A nudge into 
the path of success will greatly be appreciated.
