There seems to be a problem with my local dns server resolving 
mirror.centos.org.
I know something about dns but obviously not enough to figure out what 
might be wrong here or how to fix
this in bind configs. The SERVFAIL errors below seem to be related to 
AAAA and MX queries for the domain.
Please advise. TIA.
