Shkodenko V. Taras – it’s nothing to do with the chroot.. chroot is 1 way to secure the dns service..

some troubleshooting step need to be done first..

maybe dig result on the localhost, is there any reply ?

and some more basic troubleshooting steps..

regards

Hanif

devesh soni, I had the same problem.
I have used bind-chroted.
Chroot path was /var/named/chroot
And config file has been located in /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
All zone files was in /var/named/chroot/var/named/ folder
Can you try this solution?

Very great description to locate bugs in local bind configuration. Thank you. (for creating bulk zones ami I think you should use webmin. It allows to import and create bulk files)
