I have set up a BIND server on my dedicated box which I want to host a nameserver for my domain on.
When I use dig @202.169.196.59 nzserver.co.nz locally on the server I get the following response...
; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> @202.169.196.59 nzserver.co.nz
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

Which is good, and is the output I want. But when simply using dig nzserver.co.nz I get...
; <<>> DiG 9.8.1-P1 <<>> nzserver.co.nz
;; global options: +cmd
;; Got answer:

And if I use dig @202.169.196.59 nzserver.co.nz on another linux machine I get...
; <<>> DiG 9.7.3 <<>> @202.169.196.59 nzserver.co.nz
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
Am I doing something wrong here? Port 53 is definitely open.
