  Hi, Thanks for the reply, although I'm unsure what you are asking, sorry. My WHM/BIND setup is the default setup if that helps? If I refer to the howto I mentioned above, should I be following what it says but using named.conf instead of named.conf.options it mentions? Again, thank you for any help with this.

  I guess you have centos. You have to add the code in your named.conf file,
  listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; any; }; allow-query { localhost; any; }; allow-query-cache { localhost; any; };
  Um ,you can refer :
