firewall.My Primary DNS Server for my Internal Network is
configured as a forwarder to my External DNS Server which
is Handled by ISP.When i test my Primary DNS Server
through Monitoring Tab for Simple Query and Recursive
Query.It is connecting to external DNS Server.Same test i

Does your PIX have a rule to allow the other DNS server access ?
IT seems like it's blocking the forwarding response from the external DNS,
which causes that test to fail.
