Hello Robert,
What is listed in /etc/resolv.conf? You should have something like: search my.domain nameserver 10.0.0.1
where my.domain is the domainname for your network and 10.0.0.1 is the IP of the DNS server you are setting up.

I have been getting no where with this one. Going through various online BIND9 setup tutorials, I see a reference to nsswitch.conf. In this file I find the entry:
hosts: files dns
I have yet to find any explaination of this file. Is there something I need to add?
Also I found references to /etc/hostname and /etc/networks. Neither are on my system. Are they needed?
And this was pretty much a standard CentOS 4.2 install, but I went back using that 'broken' add/remove gui to add BIND that I forgot (before I knew about yum install bind)
Notice the dot at the end of the domain. It'll either work or tell you that it didn't. If it works, your DNS server is set up. If not, your DNS server isn't as properly configured as you think.

I am setting up a new DNS server. It will be primary for my domain.
This server is in an active subnet with a real public address.
It is not setup yet properly in .com, but that is in the works.
In the var/named/chroot/etc
I added:
named.custom (which I 'included' in named.conf)
and my various zone files.
All the log entries look good.
Oh in /etc/resolv.conf, I added my system as one of the namewervers.
When I go into nslookup and type any host name I get the error:
** server can't find foo:NXDOMAIN
where foo is whatever I typed in.
so what else did I forget to change?
