Also the OP should consult the distributor's documentation for their 
BIND configuration.  BIND from upstream comes unconfigured, that is, 
without anything like "bind-chroot".

In addition, as suggested upthread, it's not possible to answer any
questions which should have gone to the distributor if we don't know 
the distro & version.
