bind through named.conf and just found out I had a
caching-dns rpm installed but did not know it.

But if that is the case and the rpm is just
configuration files it would seem I was not running a
caching-name server after all.

Other than my domains nothing here is related to the
caching-dns server?  I need named.ca so my primary can
contact root servers and localhost is normal correct?

controls { 
	inet 127.0.0.1 allow { localhost; } keys { rndckey;
};
};
zone "." { 
	type hint;
	file "named.ca";
};
zone "localhost" { 
	allow-update { none; };
	type master;
	file "localhost.zone";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" { 
	allow-update { none; };
	type master;
	file "named.local";
};
