Ok...try this. In /etc, check host.conf. This file should say: order hosts,bind The "order hosts,bind" line doesn't need to be in the named.conf file. host.conf is the resolver configuration file. Do a man on host.conf as there are a few options. Add a host to /etc/hosts and try pinging it and see if it reads the IP address in from /etc/hosts. If it does, you are good to go.
