You can try googling for your error messages.  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.
