How is that?! You already had it working and now you remove it? :-)

Your ISP DNS are working okay or so you said yesterday, so no need to
test this again, or am I missing something?

Yes... but you first need to setup bind9 again or is it still configured
and running in your Bubba server? Oh, what a mess 8-P

Yep.

Yes.

Nope, unless you need anything else. Bind9 comes almost ready to use for
most common usage (external name resolver for your LAN clients/servers),
not many tweaks needed.
Only if you want your bind9 to be capable of resolving local domains
(like "my-local-domain.site") you need to configure it as "master" and
add a primary zone ("my-local-domain.site" A, MX, etc... records).
