BIND Name Servers aren't returning my site

Question

I don't know much about BIND but I'm learning and my friend helped me setup my own name servers. He did this before and it worked for him so I think he forget a step and that explains why this isn't working. Anyways, we used webmin to setup bind and i'm pretty sure that's okay but I can post info just ask.

• So my domain is: dustinschreiber.com
• At my registrant, naemservers are set to: ns1.dustinschreiber.com and ns2.dustinschreiber (Each pointing to an IP address on my server, I have two IPs)
• whois shows my name servers are set right
• http://postimage.org/image/o6fz623cx/ (All records according to BIND, The blacked out ones are for a friend and irrelevant anyways)
• I haven't made any changes to the systems files I've done all work through webmin so I'm not sure if I was supposed to change another file.
• Doing nslookup ns1.dustinschreiber.com on the server returns no results but even after a few days and doing /flushdns on my computer it still returns the proper IPs for both NSs as well as typing them into my web browser. But I had my friend try and it timed out for him so maybe that's my problem but just adding as much info as I can

I can't think of anything else to post so just ask if you need more info. I have fiddled around with BIND through webmin but don't know what else to try and all tutorials I find on setting up BIND are by using the files (they also didn't work for me) but I am not afraid to use SSH (I am well experienced in it) to modify files.

Thank you for reading this! Can anyone offer any suggestions? It's been like two weeks so I know it's been updated through the DNS servers.

Its a CentOS 6 machine btw.

UPDATE

I think I fixed it! Allow-query in named.conf was set to localhost (looking in the /var/logs/messages file showed hundreds of query attempts but it said they were denied) A bit more googling and research and I commented out the allow-query line and restarted BIND. (Default is allow-query { any;}; apparently) and it worked! I'm not sure how secure it really is like that but I think it's working alright. :D Well it works and I'm happy. :D You guys lead me in the right direction so now I know what I have to change to make nameservers for a startup company my friend is doing. Thanks everyone!

Your dns servers are refusing to answer :

$ dig @199.168.139.148 dustinschreiber.com A
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: **REFUSED**, id: 45216
;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;dustinschreiber.com.           IN      A

$ dig @199.168.139.127 dustinschreiber.com A
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: **REFUSED**, id: 25080
;; flags: qr rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

So they are listening and working, but there might be an access-list in Bind that prevents clients to get the answer.
