|   I had a caching dns server setup using 2.1.7.1 that worked perfectly fine.
|   I have since upgraded to 2.2.2-RELEASE and now it doesn't work. I have
|   included my naed.boot and localhost.rev files below. The problem
|   is that clients get a query refused message yet they can use
|   nslookup in interactive mode with no problems. Any ideas?

Your clients are using old versions of nslookup which use the now
deprecated IQUERY query type. Add the following to named.boot and
restart named:

options         fake-iquery

Alternatively, you could upgrade to a more modern nslookup on the
clients.
