I recently installed bind9. Works just like I want it to.

All I did to make 'rndc' work was

	sudo rndc-confgen -a
	sudo kill -SIGHUP pid-of-daemondo-that-runs-named
	sudo rndc status

The only changes I made to the named.conf file were

	add IP address to the 'listen-on' line
	add an include line for the zone file that I want to be SOA for
	change the log file lines - file "/var/log/dns_query.log" versions 7 size 20M;

If I run

	sudo named-checkconf

I get no errors.
