Thanks to @LienhartWoitok, I removed the ACL and added this line to for.myhome.lan
@ IN A 10.0.1.90
This was needed as I was searching for myhome.lan only, and that was not specified anywhere. Adding that allowed me to search the domain itself.
by adding @10.0.1.90 to my dig commands, I forced searching to my domain. I now have a fully functional DNS server for my home lab!!!
Thanks @LienthartWoitok
