Are you sure you have dns enabled?
look at;
  netstat -pan | grep :53
see if named is listening

whois does say ns1/2/3.comsiteconstruction.com are the nameservers
but dig comsiteconstruction.com @ns1.comsiteconstruction.com
gets no response from ms1,ms2,ns3
but that is predictable as the name does not resolve

[root at ns1 var]# telnet comsiteconstruction.com 53
comsiteconstruction.com/53: Temporary failure in name resolution

Try the above using the IP address
or
dig comsiteconstruction.com @ip.ad.re.ss

It may be that the root server changes have not propagated
