If you want to send me TCPdumps of the hex in the packets, I can break
them down to see exactly what is going out.

I'd suspect this is your problem. Your authoritive for the 'local.'
domain, but the NS record for your localhost and rev domains are
outside your zone. So answers in those domains will cause the NS
record to be in the authority info, and the gate. IP address [for
example] to be placed in the additional info.
Since your not authoritive for 'gate.', it has to go to the root
servers for the request.
You, in other words, want gate.local. to be the NS record [and
you probably want your localhost NS record to point to your server,
not actually 'localhost', unless you add a localhost. zoen that
your primary for along with the 127.0.0 zone.
