Problem with DNS on mandriva 2007

Hi group
I'm totally new to this forum so I apologize for any dummie question.

Here goes my question. I find myself in a trouble due to a DNS configuration
that I'm trying to do on mandriva 2007. By default it is configured on
(var/lib/named). I put my zones and configured the named.conf and service
OK, zones ok (with rndc status)

But when I configured a normal pc with the DNS server IP of mandriva 2007,
it can't resolv the web sites. My question is, is there any way to debug
bind to see if is working properly?

I did some research and I did the following query to my DNS server

[root at ethereal named]# dig @serverIP mydomain.com.co

Is this a good query? Is my server resolving names? What could be some steps
to probe if the DNS server works fine?

Thanks for any help in advanced
