DNS Server Setup Centos 6.5 Issues

I am having a bit of trouble getting my CENTOS 6.5 DNS server to work correctly in our testlab environment. Lab network is 10.8.0.0/24 in which we all access from 10.7.0.0.0/24 && 10.0.0.0/24. Here are my configs:
Code:
options {
	listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; 10.8.0.19;};
	#listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; };
	directory 	"/var/named";
	dump-file 	"/var/named/data/cache_dump.db";
        statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt";
        // forwarders { 10.8.0.150; };
	memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt";
	allow-query     { localhost; 10.0.0.0/24; 10.8.0.0/24; 10.7.0.0/24; };
	allow-transfer  { localhost; 10.0.0.0/24; };
        recursion yes;

	dnssec-enable yes;
	dnssec-validation yes;
	dnssec-lookaside auto;

	/* Path to ISC DLV key */
	bindkeys-file "/etc/named.iscdlv.key";

	managed-keys-directory "/var/named/dynamic";
};

logging {
        channel default_debug {
                file "data/named.run";
                severity dynamic;
        };
};

zone "." IN {
	type hint;
	file "named.ca";
};

zone "labtest.local" IN {
type master;
file "labtest.local.zone";
allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.8.10.in-addr.arpa" IN {
type master;
file "0.8.10.in-addr.arpa";
allow-update { none; };
};

include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones";
include "/etc/named.root.key";

forward look stuff:
Code:
$ORIGIN labtest.local.

$TTL   1d
@               IN SOA  test-nameserver.labtest.local. root.labtest.local.     (

                12 ; se = serial number
                3h         ; ref = refresh
                15m        ; ret = update retry
                3w         ; ex = expiry
                3h         ; min = minimum
                                        )

@                IN   NS   test-nameserver.labtest.local.
@		 IN   A    10.8.0.19


test-nameserver         IN    A   10.8.0.19

dojo1                   IN    A   10.8.0.186
redhat.5.5.32Bit        IN    A   10.8.0.149
redhat.6.2.64Bit        IN    A   10.8.0.147
mandriva.9.2.32Bit      IN    A   10.8.0.153
RELEASE-WIN2003         IN    A   10.8.0.17

reverse stuff
Code:
$TTL    1d
@   IN    SOA   test-nameserver.labtest.local. root.labtest.local. (
    2013112100 ; se = serial number
    3h         ; ref = refresh
    15m        ; ret = update retry
    3w         ; ex = expiry
    3h         ; min = minimum
    )

@                       IN   NS   test-nameserver.labtest.local.
@                       IN   A    10.8.0.19
@			IN PTR    labtest.local

test-nameserver         IN    A   10.8.0.19

19     IN   PTR  test-nameserver.labtest.local.
186    IN   PTR  dojo1.labtest.local.
149    IN   PTR  redhat.5.5.32Bit.labtest.local.

153    IN   PTR  mandriva.9.2.32Bit.labtest.local.
17     IN   PTR  RELEASE-WIN2003.labtest.local.

When running my tests against it, I can ping a target but oddly digs response shows that the DNS server is not anwsering:
Code:

[root@test-nameserver]# dig @test-nameserver.labtest.local dojo1
dig will not add the domain by default. Try:

Code:
dig @test-nameserver.labtest.local dojo1.labtest.local

Add this line to your /etc/resolv.conf
Code:
domain labtest.local

Now you can use
Code:
dig @test-nameserver.labtest.local dojo1 +search

i was schooled and found out:

If you have a line
Code:
search labtest.local

in /etc/resolv.conf, you can omit the domain part and use:
Code:
dig @test-nameserver.labtest.local dojo1 +search

Also,it turned out that it is was the way I was using nslookup. nslookup responds correctly with the IP of the domain. Hosts listing (ls option) is not implemented anymore for security reasons.
If you want to list all hosts, you can do domain transfer on screen:
Code:
nslookup -q=axfr abtest.local

you beat me to the punch.

Actually I ran the test on my laptop and it doesnt work

dig @test-nameserver.labtest.local dojo1.labtest.local +search
dig: couldn't get address for 'test-nameserver.labtest.local': not found

but if I do it via the ip address:
Code:
dig @10.8.0.19 dojo1.labtest.local
