Yes that was the problem, I can start named and service named status shows it running, that's ok but when I make the 127.0.0.1 entry in /etc/resolv.conf I get -

dig centos.org dig: couldn't get address for '127.0.0.1': not found

This is stuff that works for me in FC6 so apparently there are other things to deal with in Centos?

That suggests that you haven't actually got the caching-nameserver RPM installed, so you are lacking the zone for it to do a reverse lookup on 127.0.0.1.

Could you post the output from the following commands?

cat /etc/resolv.conf rpm -q caching-nameserver cat /etc/named.conf ls -l /var/named

Or feel free to email me off-list.
