Just take the stock setup that Centos will install and add the following
in the 'options' section of /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf

        forward only;
        forwarders {
                nn.nn.nn.nn;
                nn.nn.nn.nn;
        };
Replace the nn's with the IP address(es) of reachable servers. Otherwise
it has to be able to reach public servers on the internet and get their
responses.
