Oh dear, this is not going to work at all. This is for
a caching-only nameserver, not for one with authority on a
domain.
If you are running a simple DNS, and do not need the features
of BIND 8, use BIND 4. Much simpler; its file is called
named.boot.
YOu will need an RPM for Bind 4 (4.96 is current, I believe), get
the latest one. Your named.boot file would be abour 5 lines
long.
Anyway, here is my named.conf at Nook Net, and I am running
Bind 8. Get some ideas from it (or decide to give up!), and
let me look at what you come up with for yours.
