# Check that the ''named'' service is running using the '''ps ax''' command (perhaps combined with '''grep'''), and separately, the '''systemctl''' command (if necessary), or check the '''/var/log/messages''' file for troubleshooting purposes.

# Once you are certain that the ''named'' service had started and runs without errors, then set it to '''start automatically''' (i.e. enable the named service) when this virtual machine boots.

# Now that you know the service works, '''add the resource records necessary for it to provide forward lookups of the other machines in your virtual network''' (hint: You should only need two more records) and restart the service.
