CentOS 7 and BIND

[Gilbert T. Gutierrez, Jr.]

Anthony,
I looked a little further...
In Centos7 (without chroot, I have not looked at the chroot version), 
the named.conf file is in /etc and not /etc/named.
The start up file is /usr/lib/systemd/system/named.service which will 
show you what is being called and from where.

I wish I was more help, but I have done very little with CentOS7. All my 
DNS servers are running on CentOS5 and I need to think about replacing 
them, which I would do on CentOS7.
