SOLVED: bind9 prevents external access
Would you believe it but bind9 had sweet nothing to do with the
problem. The issue lay in the interfaces configuration file all along.
In my email below I had configured eth0:0 but the IP address used in
this was actually the subnet ip. As soon as I removed this everything
went back to normal...
Thanks to everyone who so pain-stakingly help me resolve this issue. I
really do appreciate it.

Could this issue also not have something to do with the way in which
my interfaces is setup?
I'm thinking aloud here because I don't really know but in order for
me to be able to setup two nameservers I was assigned a new IP range
which I had to configure in the /etc/network/interfaces file.
My default setup had the following configured in my interfaces:
# Loopback device:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# device: eth0
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 1.2.3.84
broadcast 1.2.3.91
netmask 255.255.255.224
gateway 1.2.3.61
# default route to access subnet:
up route add -net 1.2.3.60 netmask 255.255.255.224 gw 1.2.3.61 eth0
Then, once I had the the new IP address range I appended the following
to the end of the interfaces file:
auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static
address 4.5.6.104
netmask 255.255.255.248
gateway 4.5.6.105
auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address 4.5.6.106
netmask 255.255.255.248
auto eth0:2
iface eth0:2 inet static
address 4.5.6.107
netmask 255.255.255.248
Maybe this explains things?????
