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".
