	You're mixing caching & authoritative services on the same 
machine.  Here's the complete "options" section from the named.conf 
you previously posted:

options{
         directory "path_to_dns_area";
         allow-transfer { x.x.x.x; };
         query-source address * port 53 ;
         allow-query { any; };
         statistics-interval 1440; // stats once per day is enough
         version "DNS server"; // every little bit helps
};

	If you want to be authoritative-only and not include caching, you 
have to add "recursion no;" and ideally "fetch-glue no;" to these 
options.  Both of these are turned on by default, and if you do not 
turn these off and you define zones that you are authoritative for, 
then you will be mixing authoritative and caching services on the 
same machine.

	This is documented in the man pages for "named.conf" in BIND 8, 
as well as BIND 9.  Type "man named.conf" to see what you have, and 
scroll down to the "recursion" and "fetch-glue" statements.
