Ok, I still need some help. Complete reformat, careful installation and bind is up and running (seemingly) correctly.
When I view syslog I can see information being sent to bind
Code:

As I said before I have been using VHCS2 up until now and the nameservers are officially registered as valid nameservers. If I add records to my domain control panel (external) then the server reacts correctly, however it does not react correctly to a new domain being setup, even though it is registered to use the correct nameservers (and has been for a long time now).
For example - I added laughingwolf.co.uk into ISCP. The domain is registered and the nameservers are specified as ns.wolflan.com and ns2.wolflan.com. Both of these nameservers are up and running and registered as valid nameservers. Yet, even if I SSH to the server and ping laughingwolf.co.uk, it doesn't resolve correctly.
I thought it could be something to do with resolv.conf and added nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx to the top of that file to be safe.
Any help would be welcomed, I am getting desperate now and really don't want to be forced down the route of my previous (crap) panel.
Many thanks
***EDIT***
My datacenter provides nameservers aswell...could it be that I need to set forwarders?
Thanks again
