Okay... so (with respect to this) it *does* matter
whether /etc/resolv.conf points to 127.0.0.1 or the locally-known IP
address.

And, in fact, changing /etc/resolv.conf to point to 127.0.0.1 for the
nameserver gets things working--on the nameserver box itself.

Thanks for that.  This is what I get when I try to look up something
from a different machine on the local network:

        # dig front @192.168.1.20
        
        ; <<>> DiG 9.6.1-P1-RedHat-9.6.1-4.P1.fc11 <<>> front @192.168.1.20

So... "REFUSED"?  What might be the cause of that?

Okay... I think I've corrected that.  Here's the current state of
things:

DNS

only).
