First: put this line with appropriate numbers/filenames in /etc/named.boot: primary XXX.XXX.XXX.in-addr.arpa XXX.XXX.XXX.db Second, create /etc/namedb/XXX.XXX.XXX.db (replace X's as needed) with the following content: @ IN NS prim-name-server-to-delegate-auth-to. IN NS sec-name-server-to-delegate-auth-to. Do not forget to put trailing dot! Then, restart named. It should work fine then.
