BIND server sends no query back

Question

I've tried to configure my BIND-DNS server, so it will respond to to DNS requests made to a subdomain mail.prognoza.cu.cc of my domain prognoza.cu.cc .

I've defined an NS record of mail.prognoza.cu.cc with the server IP as the content.

I've also configured BIND as followed:

        session-keyfile "/run/named/session.key";
};

logging {
        channel default_debug {
                file "data/named.run";
                severity dynamic;
        };
};

zone "." IN {
        type hint;
        file "named.ca";
};

       zone "mail.prognoza.cu.cc" IN {
                type master;
                file "/var/named/prognoza.cu.cc.zone";
                allow-update { none; };
        };
include "/etc/named.rfc1912.zones";
include "/etc/named.root.key";

here is prognoza.cu.cc.zone:

@ IN SOA     ns1.prognoza.cu.cc. hostmaster.prognoza.cu.cc. (
        2013042201  ;Serial
        3600        ;Refresh
        1800        ;Retry
        604800      ;Expire
        3600       ;Minimum TTL
)

; Specify our two nameservers
                IN      NS             localhost.
; Resolve nameserver hostnames to IP, replace with your two droplet IP addresses.
ns1             IN      A               31.220.108.9

; Define hostname -> IP pairs which you wish to resolve
@               IN      A               31.220.108.9
www             IN      A               31.220.108.9

For some reason it doesn't work. Whenever I nslookup mail.prognoza.cu.cc, it fails, and this is the result of dig, within the server:

dig mail.prognoza.cu.cc ANy

; <<>> DiG 9.9.4-RedHat-9.9.4-38.el7_3.1 <<>> mail.prognoza.cu.cc ANy
;; global options: +cmd

For some reason, no record is found.

Can someone figure out what the problem is?

EDIT

named-checkzone mail.prognoza.cu.cc /var/named/prognoza.cu.cc.zone

returns:

OK

Please don't use `@ IN NS localhost.` only use actual name servers in NS records or, if you only have a [single name server](http://serverfault.com/q/710108/37681), only create a NS record for that. Are there any Bind startup and/or error messages? What do you get warnings errors with `named-checkzone mail.prognoza.cu.cc /var/named/prognoza.cu.cc.zone` — HBruijn, Feb 14 '17 at 07:57
Do not use ANY to do tests. Use dig with the @ specifier to specify precisely the nameserver you query and ask for a specific resource type (A, AAAA, etc.). First you do not need to do a delegation to have the mail. record in can be directly in the top zone. Also you have various strange setup: authoritative nameservers for cu.cc does not know anything about prognoza.cu.cc (no delegation), but they have a NS record for mail.prognoza.cu.cc with an IP address where it should be a name. — Patrick Mevzek, Feb 14 '17 at 22:27
@HBruijn so should I delete @ IN NS localhost.? and replace it with what? I would like that prognoza.cu.cc redirects all DNS requests made to mail.prognoza.cu.cc , to my server. It has no separate DNS address, only fixed IP. I would like that I be able to determine for mail.prognoza.cu.cc any record I would like via my bind server. I've added the result of the command you've given me. Patrick Mevzek I tried to use dig prognoza.cu.cc @, I got: dig: couldn't get address for '': not found . thanks. — prognoza, Feb 15 '17 at 04:57
`SERVFAIL` suggests that some form of configuration error is likely. What do the logs say, what does `named-checkconf -zj` say? — Håkan Lindqvist, Feb 15 '17 at 07:09
@HåkanLindqvist I've added what you asked for. Where is BIND's log file? — prognoza, Feb 18 '17 at 16:00
@prognoza dependson your system, usually /var/log/messages, syslog, or journalctl -f — Jacob Evans, Feb 18 '17 at 16:28
have you updated the serial in your zone file after you made changes? — ivanivan, Feb 18 '17 at 16:36
