So this isn't a problem - you don't need named running on the box unless you want to support having "nameserver 127.0.0.1" in your resolv.conf
Yes I want the caching-nameserver running and thought it would result from the install but that didn't happen?
You need to start named running:
root# service named start
And then tell the system to start named automatically on future boots:
root# chkconfig named on
Then provided the caching-nameserver package is installed, you just take out the external nameserver lines from /etc/resolv.conf (else you won't get the benefit of caching nameserver) and replace them with the single line "nameserver 127.0.0.1".
