This is an install from scratch..however this is a learner's box..i bet i deleted something i shouldn't have..:)
here's the response: Aug 9 18:18:47 Enoch named[3113]: starting BIND 9.2.4 -u named Aug 9 18:18:47 Enoch named[3113]: using 1 CPU Aug 9 18:18:47 Enoch named: named startup succeeded Aug 9 18:18:48 Enoch named[3113]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf' Aug 9 18:18:48 Enoch named[3113]: listening on IPv4 interface lo, 127.0.0.1#53 Aug 9 18:18:48 Enoch named[3113]: listening on IPv4 interface eth0, 192.168.0.200#53 Aug 9 18:18:48 Enoch named[3113]: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953 Aug 9 18:18:48 Enoch named[3113]: command channel listening on ::1#953 Aug 9 18:18:48 Enoch named[3113]: running
So i did this:
nslookup hotmail.com
(on my winders box) and i got this: *** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.200: Non-existent domain Server: jericho.emmanuelcomputerconsulting.com Address: 192.168.0.1
Non-authoritative answer: Name: hotmail.com Addresses: 64.4.33.7, 64.4.32.7
The box's name is Enoch.emmanuelcomputerconsulting.com ip is 192.168.0.200 set statically.

Ok etc/named.conf is NOT a symlink and /var/named does NOT have the chroot folders. It has /var/named/data and /var/named/slaves both of which are blank.
I'm at a disadvantage here because I installed my box from the k12ltsp rebuilt Centos 4 isos, but I don't think that part changed. Are you on a Centos4 installed from scratch or was the box upgraded from something else?
Named should work the same, chroot or not, though. What errors are you seeing in /var/log/messages after starting it?
