From RHEL to CentOS BIND 9

[Baird, Josh]

Why are you forwarding to yourself?

Per this configuration, all zone files should be placed within
/var/named/chroot/var/named.  It is not starting because you are missing
zone files.

I really think an introductory book to BIND will help you immensely.

I do see some 192 info I need to remove in there. The server won't start
at 
all.
