Why not send us samples of what you are trying.  Plus explain
what you want to do.  Do you want this machine to be a nameserver
or just to be able to resolve names?

If all you want is name resolution then do NOT run named, simply
edit resolv.conf to contain your domain name and pointers to one
or more working name servers.
