BIND error: opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL

SERVFAIL means there was a failure to properly resolve something.  Not 
necessarily a BIND error.

Do this and analyze the output:

dig +trace goelexports.com

Also you are using an old version of DIG. You may want to consider 
updating BIND.

It also appears that you are running a recursive server on this machine. 
  Do you have UDP and TCP ports 53 open to this server?  You need both open.
