I dont see your name server listed for your domain in the WHOIS database..
are you wanting to use homelinux.net as your DNS server? what is the address of your DNS server.. also.. I agree.. check with your ISP to see if they are blocking UDP port 53
The Registry database contains ONLY .COM, .NET, .EDU domains and Registrars. Hostway Whois Server Version 1.0 Domain Name: zdashi.com Registrar: AAAQ.COM Whois Server: whois.aaaq.com Referral URL: http://www.aaaq.com Name Server: ns-bsd.homelinux.net Name Server: a.dns.hostway.net Status: ACTIVE Updated Date 2005-01-25 Creation Date: 2004-10-04 Expiration Date: 2005-10-04

If you have a domain, you must setup at least two different DNS servers. Both must be on physically different networks. Are you sure that the domain is set up properly? I could dig from here, but since you didn't specify the domain...

How long since you redirected the nameserver records from your registrar account? It can take up to 72 hours for the changes to propagate, depending on the TLD. Some TLD propagate changes much faster now, but it can still takes many hours all DNS caches to expire old stuff.

Running a DNS server from an ADSL link is not recommended.
Are you sure that your ISP is not blocking port 53 to your fixed address? And are you sure that your DNS server is actually listening on the public interface at all (if you have a multi-homed host) a.k.a does sockstat -46l show something like *:53?
