Jagan thanks for your help.

I have resolved the problem, perhaps others will have the same issue.
Mandrivia configures bind with a bogon_acl config file which..... 

    // Filter out the bogon networks.  These are networks
    // listed by IANA as test, RFC1918, Multicast, experi-
    // mental, etc.  If you see DNS queries or updates with
    // a source address within these networks, this is likely
    // of malicious origin. CAUTION: If you are using RFC1918
    // netblocks on your network, remove those netblocks from
    // this list of blackhole ACLs!

so 109.0.0.0/8 was listed but no doubt due to the sacristy of IPV4 addresses many of the bogon networks are now valid.
