Bind won't start. - Discuss

14 Jan 2011


      Dear Group,
In the process of configuring bind, I created a new configuration file under /etc/named.conf
options {
        directory "/var/named";
        version "Nope.";
};
zone "internal.micro.com" in {
        type master;
        file "internal.micro.com";
};
This is the definition I am using for the forward zone under /var/named/internal.micro.com
$TTL            24h;
@       IN      SOA     plato.internal.micro.com   lgrullon.internal.micro.com(
                        2011011401      ; Serial
                        108000          ; Refresh
                        3600            ; Retry
                        604800          ; Expire
                        86400           ; Minimum
)
internal.micro.com.                IN      NS      plato.internal.micro.com.
internal.micro.com.                IN      A       192.168.1.10
plato.internal.micro.com.          IN      A      192.168.1.10
internal.micro.com.                IN      MX      100     plato.internal.micro.com
I am getting the following error under /var/log/messages and named would not start after service named start. What am I missing?

Is there something wrong with the kernel and named?  I am on 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5
