That turns up problems related to old format zone/conf files, or things like broken SOA records. I assume the nixbox that can't get out is using this borken BIND as its nameserver. If you block port 53 (destination port), how do you expect either of them (nixbox or nameserver - doesn't matter if they're the same) to talk to other nameservers? Your query to e.g., mail.abcs.com has nothing to do with your zone files. I highly recommend the O'Reilly DNS book. It won't help with version 9 features (yet), but it covers the basics very well. Although there are lots of new features in version 9, the fundamentals haven't changed.
