Your server needs to resolve opennic domains including the root zone, 
otherwise it's not really fully operational.  I see Renard already 
responded with info on how you can get BIND fixed, but it doesn't look 
like you have made those changes yet.  Let me know when you get it 
updated and I can approve your server.

Also in case you had any concerns... The opennic root zone ALSO resolves 
all ICANN zones, plus other networks that opennic peers with, so you 
won't lose access to anything by making this change. Our root zone gets 
updated once per hour to check for any new TLDs on each network.
