I have bind9 setup on my old DO droplet (Debian 7.11) and everything was working great. I decided to setup a new droplet (Debian 8.7) and configure bind9 today.
On the old Debian 7 droplet I had it configured to be authoritative name server with the following names, ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com.
I registered the example.com domainname through GoDaddy, and set it point to my external name servers ns1.example.com ns2.example.com using their web interface.
However, DNS does not appear to be working on the Debian 8.7 droplet when I tried to set it up.

Any help on this matter would greatly be appreciated.
