Using a text editor (such as vim, nano, or emacs), open this file, then see if you can find the options section, adding this line:

allow-recursion { 127.0.0.1; };

In some cases this file may include other config files, such as Kloxo's. It looks like this:

//Kloxo

...

include "/etc/kloxo.named.conf";

...

//Kloxo global config (stop being open recursors)

...

include "/etc/global.options.named.conf";

In this case, you can add an options section yourself, making the resulting file look like this:

options

...

 {
    allow-recursion {127.0.0.1;};

...

};

...

//Kloxo

...

include "/etc/kloxo.named.conf";

...

//Kloxo global config (stop being open recursors)

...

include "/etc/global.options.named.conf";

Then run the command: service named restart

...

edit /etc/resolv.conf

Replace these lines:

nameserver 208.77.208.4

...

nameserver 208.77.208.5

with this one:

nameserver 127.0.0.1

Verify you can ping domains outside of the server such as google.com, facebook.com, yahoo.com etc.
