Troubleshooting newly build BIND DNS under Mandriva Enterprise 5

I'm having a super headache figuring out the solution on how to solve this problem. Ok the problem was i can't query the DNS server from client to Mandriva DNS Server so the solution was this:  

1. check the packets first using tcpdump :  tcpdump -pni any port 53
2. check the server and client using dig command and see if you have the ouput 
3. if you have the output then tail the log file on named  
tail -f -n0 /var/lib/named/var/log/*.log 
4. if you have no output result coming from the client meaning it is blocked by bogon network 
5. go to /var/lib/named/etc/bogon_acl.conf and trusted_networks_acl.conf
6. and check your network 
7. thats it! damn! It gives me a super headache on this simple problem.

Tnx for my fellow linux gurus..
