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. Gilbert On 11/21/2014 12:02 PM, Anthony Radzykewycz wrote: > Oh ok. Thank you!!
