Strange, I'm getting NXDOMAIN for dwsmedia.info.  No NS records for it 
on ultradns name servers of any kind.  His DNS servers (well, at least 
brilliance) do not seem to be configured as authoritative for 
dwsmedia.info domain either.

Could OP post relevant portions of named.conf and complete zone files? 
Maybe the error is in named.conf somewhere, or maybe there's typo in 
zone file causing BIND to ignore entire file.  OP should also check 
/var/log/messages and see if BIND is complaining during startup about 
anything.

It is broken because ultradns (who's DNS servers are responsible for TLD 
info domain) do not have any NS records for dwsmedia.info.
