DNS server (bind9) working but not pinging


I have installed a DNS server using bind9. I created an internal zone linux.bogus per insrtuctions shown in:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO-5.html
My linux.bogus zone file is as follows:
Code:
;
; Zone file for linux.bogus
;
; The full zone file
;
$TTL 3D
@       IN      SOA     ns.linux.bogus. hostmaster.linux.bogus. (
                        199802151       ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
                        8H              ; refresh, seconds
                        2H              ; retry, seconds
                        4W              ; expire, seconds
                        1D )            ; minimum, seconds
;
                TXT     "Linux.Bogus, your DNS consultants"
                NS      ns              ; Inet Address of name server
                NS      ns.friend.bogus.
                MX      10 mail         ; Primary Mail Exchanger
                MX      20 mail.friend.bogus. ; Secondary Mail Exchanger

localhost       A       127.0.0.1

gw              A       192.168.196.1
                TXT     "The router"

ns              A       192.168.196.2
                MX      10 mail
                MX      20 mail.friend.bogus.
www             CNAME   ns

donald          A       192.168.196.3
                MX      10 mail
                MX      20 mail.friend.bogus.
                TXT     "DEK"

mail            A       192.168.196.4
                MX      10 mail
                MX      20 mail.friend.bogus.

ftp             A       192.168.196.5
                MX      10 mail
                MX      20 mail.friend.bogus.
The 127.0.0 zone is as follows:

Code:
$TTL 3D
@               IN      SOA     ns.linux.bogus. hostmaster.linux.bogus. (
                                1       ; Serial
                                8H      ; Refresh
                                2H      ; Retry
                                4W      ; Expire
                                1D)     ; Minimum TTL
                        NS      ns.linux.bogus.
1                       PTR     localhost.
DNS server started successfully, but when I do dig any linux.bogus, I get the following:
Code:
root@ns:/etc# dig any linux.bogus

; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P2 <<>> any linux.bogus
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:

As you can see, I get ANSWER: 0. Also when I do dig linux.bogus axfr, I get the following:

Code:
root@ns:/etc# dig linux.bogus axfr
; <<>> DiG 9.5.1-P2 <<>> linux.bogus axfr
;; global options:  printcmd
; Transfer failed.
Does any body know how to correct these issues?

My named.conf is as follows:
Code:
// Config file for caching only name server
//
// The version of the HOWTO you read may contain leading spaces
// (spaces in front of the characters on these lines ) in this and
// other files.  You must remove them for things to work.
//
// Note that the filenames and directory names may differ, the
// ultimate contents of should be quite similar though.

options {
	directory "/etc/bind";
	pid-file "/var/run/bind/run/named.pid";
	};

zone "." {
	type hint;
	file "/etc/bind/db.cache";
	};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "pz/127.0.0";
};

key rndc-key {
	algorithm hmac-md5;
	secret "XXXXXXXXX";
	};
controls {
	inet 127.0.0.1 port 953 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { rndc-key; };
	};

           forward first;
           forwarders {
                10.0.0.1;
                10.0.0.2;
            };

zone "linux.bogus" {
        type master;
        notify no;
        file "pz/linux.bogus";
};
My PC hostname is:
Code:
root@ns:/etc# hostname
ns.linux.bogus

Update:

I deleted the following from named.conf:

forward first;
forwarders {
10.0.0.1;
10.0.0.2;

It is working fine now.
