DNS Setup troubleshooting

Hello everybody,

I am trying to setup the DNS server for the test domain http://www.wois.net .

I set the nameservers to

ns1.wois.net (221.186.130.211)
ns2.wois.net (221.186.130.212)
ns3.wois.net (221.186.130.213)

When I do a whois than all 3 nameservers show up. Also all 3 domain servers are runing. Only Server 1 and 3 are actually accessable from the web by the global IP.

Do cut the story shorter it seems to me that the DNS does not resolv correctly. For now please ignore the time settings (unless they are totally wrong of course. I set them short in order to be able to change the settings once it resolves correctly.
All settings were done 4 days ago, so the resolving around the globe should have gone through by now ;-)

How can I check that the announcements are actually reaching the 13 root servers ?
Perhaps Do I need to open any other port than 25 and 80 on the router side in order to make it work ?

Any reply and pointing into the right direction is much appreciated.
I post my setup files below.

(Note that the system is running on Debian Sarge. You may find that the config files are different from another distro)

Best regards

Nils Valentin
