[CentOS] How to enable bind to listen querys from all my network

Hi Guys.
I installed BIND 9.3.3rc2 straight off the CentOS 5.1 CDs.
By default the /var/named/chroot is empty, so all I did was copy the
cp -R /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.3/sample/* /var/named/chroot/
and it inserts a working set of files.
Editing /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf shows a sample setup that listens
on all interfaces
(which is why I set up the firewall first to block all interfaces) and has 3
views (localhost_resolver, internal and external)
Then it is a simple matter to set up forwarders in the options section for
caching and off you go.
Further tweaking should allow you to restrict the interfaces and adding
zones (master/slave/forward) into the appropriate views
will allow resolving of internal or domains hosted by the server.

By default there is no "listen-on port" option in the sample file, so it
listens on the default port (53) on all interfaces.

HTH
Regards,
  Andrew.
