If those are Verizon's you need to tell them that they need to fix their
nameservers or you need to find another set.

I never trust automatic updates, you don't know what they're going to break.

If you don't have a secondary it should be empty.

Don't use telnet. It's not a text protocol and it's mostly UDP anyway. telnet
uses TCP. You should be using dig to make queries of your nameservers.
It's in the kit.

If you can't get 127.0.0.1 then BIND itself is not responding. 127.0.0.1 is the
local loopback and does not involve any hardware to work. You didn't tell
us what you have in your application event log which you can get at via
the event viewer.

You didn't include the complete named.conf.
