I tried these as you suggested but no luck.

I didn't understand how to do that so I did man dig.
Manual mentions /etc/resolv.conf and it turns out that the content was:
nameserver 10.2.1.2 (other machine)
nameserver 10.2.1.101 (linux box)

Switched them and now its working.
Even without the $NS and $TTL record but I will keep it for the caching.


And I corrected the entry "forwards" in named.conf, thanks for pointing that 
out.
