You did leave a space between "mydomain.com" and '@' didn't
you?

Notice that status = NXDOMAIN
That means non-existent domain.
Your nameserver is not loading the zone?
Do a "ndc" reload of the domain or do
a "ndc restart"
Then do a "tail -n 100 /var/log/messages"
- shows the last 100 lines -
Look and see if the zone was loaded OK.

P.S. Regardless of propagation the command
dig mydomain.com @mynmaeserver.com
Should work.
