I'm new to Centos and am in the process of building a new server.

On my test box, I've installed CentOS v5 x86_64.

When starting bind for the first time I found that named.conf and various zone files where missing.

I installed named.conf along with localdomain.zone, localhost.zone, named.broadcast, named.ca, named.ip6.local, named.local, named.zero along with a couple test domains.

The problem I'm having is when I use this box as a nameserver from another box or a workstation. If at the prompt of the test box I can ping say google.com, but not from my workstation or other local development boxes when using this testbox as a nameserver. The named.conf and zone files were copied from another local development box with RH 8 installed.

I am of course pointing to the test box to use as DNS server in my workstation tcp/ip config.

Any help would be appreciated.
