It is probably not bind that is causing your issues, but caching-
nameserver.
RH says you should not have caching-nameserver installed on a machine
that is also doing domain control.
So save your named.conf also maybe the hints file
(usually /var/named/named.ca) ... then remove caching-nameserver ...
then restore your config files and you should not have this issue in the
future. See these links:
