Hi, I'm running CentOS 7 and trying to get Bind configured. I've configured /etc/named.conf and have configured one zone.

systemd: Started Berkeley Internet Name Domain (DNS). I've search the internet and one guy said the date/time was wrong on his box. Another said it was ipv6 and said to add OPTIONS="-4" to the named.conf file - I tried it however Bind would not start. I can view the site in my browser using the private and public IP's. I can telnet using the private and public IP's. I've created custom name servers at my registrar. However I cannot use the domain name to view the site. Any thoughts? Thanks a bunch!!
