Bind and AIX

I am attempting to set up bind on an AIX 5.3 machine. I ahve created a named.conf, db.cache (for root domain and hint file) and a db.domainname file for the host entries. However, when I set my pc to use the AIX box as it's dns server, I can not resolve names. Is there anything obvious maybe I am missing in the setup? Other than the named.run file, are there any other logs files I can check?

Below is my named.conf

options {
directory "/etc";
};

zone "testdomain.com" in {
type master;
file "db.testdomain";
};

zone "." {
type hint;
file "db.cache";
};


here is my db.testdomain

testdomain.com. IN SOA dns.testdomain.com. 1 (
10808
3600
604800
86400
)
;
;Name servers
;
testdomain.com. IN NS dns.testdomain.com.
;
;
;
localhost.testdomain.com. IN A 127.0.0.1
test.testdomain.com. IN A x.x.x.x
test2.testdomain.com. IN A x.x.x.x
test3.testdomain.com. IN A x.x.x.x

NAME
domainname - set or display name of current domain nisdomainname - set or display name of current NIS(YP) domain ypdomainname - set or display name of current NIS(YP) domain SYNOPSIS
domainname [ domain ] nisdomainname [ domain ] ypdomainname [ domain ] DESCRIPTION
Without an argument, domainname displays the name of the current NIS domainname of the system. domainname uses the getdomainname(2) function for getting the domainname, nisdomainname and ypdomainname are using yp_get_default_domain(3). Only the super-user can set the name of the domain by specifying the new domain as an argument. All three programs uses setdomainname(2) for this. Bear in mind, that already running programs may continue to use the old domainname. SEE ALSO
