I'm trying to set up a previously slave server as a primary as the primary 
has been down for a few weeks and the primary DNS servers out there seem to 
have updated our domain as being non-existent (be gentle, not that familiar 
with DNS).
So heres the config:
I'm running BIND-9.1.0-10
/var/log/messages when named is started:
named: named startup succeeded
Feb 13 01:19:56 leviathan named[16936]: loading configuration from 
'/etc/named.conf'
Feb 13 01:19:56 leviathan named[16936]: the default for the 'auth-nxdomain' 
option is now 'no'
Feb 13 01:19:56 leviathan named[16936]: no IPv6 interfaces found

Feb 13 01:19:56 leviathan named[16936]: dns_zone_load: zone

Feb 13 01:19:56 leviathan named[16936]: running
