If you haven't already done this, check to see the the named did indeed
restart. Do a: 

dig @yournameserver <the hostname you want to reach>

to ensure that it is really serving the info you indend.

Since you changed the IP of the nameserver for your domain (assuming it
public), may want to check that at least one of the servers you've
specified in your domain registration is still reachable. You may need
to contact your domain registrar and update your domain info. Once
you've updated your registration info, you may need to wait a few hours
for it to take effect.
