[Carlos Garcia]

Well im using RHL 9, the configuration it is what it says the article, it is 
a caching name server and it answer this is the named.conf with bind 9
controls {
        inet 127.0.0.1 allow { 127.0.0.1; } keys { rndckey; };
        inet 200.38.128.155  allow { 127.0.0.1;          # localhost
                                                     here should be our 
networks
                                                      ex 89.67.100.x
                                                     } keys { rndckey; };

};

key "rndckey" {
        algorithm       "hmac-md5";
        secret          "p8=";
};

options {
        directory       "/conf";
        pid-file        "/var/run/named.pid";
        statistics-file "/var/run/named.stats";
        dump-file       "/var/run/named.db";

        # hide our "real" version number
        version         "[secured]";
};

# The root nameservers
zone "." {
        type   hint;
        file   "db.rootcache";
};

# localhost - forward zone
zone    "localhost" {
        type    master;
        file   "db.localhost";
        notify  no;
};

# localhost - inverse zone
zone    "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
        type   master;
        file   "db.127.0.0";
        notify no;
};
