I have set up a windows 2000 server platform to host my website locally.
After reading LOTS of documentation online from technet to the zillions
of server and i.t. websites, I have not been able to figure this one
out.

I have set up my dns server on the 2000 box, When I run DIG on the local
net it responds as follows,
========================================================================
opcode: Query, status: NoError, id: 42
flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 2, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

QUESTION SECTION:

ANSWER SECTION:
ns1.xxxxxxxx.com. 3600 IN CNAME stardate-server.xxxxxxxx.com.
stardate-server.xxxxxxxx.com. 3600 IN A xx.xx.xx.xx

And when I run Netdig on a rootserver I get,

The root server are not capable of recusive queries, they only give
referrals. That is what you are getting a referral to the com gTLD servers,
which will give you a referral to the Authoritative DNS for the domain name.
It is up to a recursive resolving proxy DNS servers to give you a fully
recursed answer.
