= Running and testing the DNS server =
* Make sure that you have "named.service" enable.
* Start the "named" service: systemctl start named.service
* Check the status of the "named" service: systemctl status named.service. Make sure the "named" service is active and running. If the "named" service failed to start, check for typo or syntax error in the BIND configuration file /etc/named.conf and your forward and reverse lookup zone files. There are two utilities provided by the "bind" package. They are called "named-checkconf" and "named-checkzone", and both are in the /usr/sbin directory.
** named-checkconf can be used to check for typo or syntax errors in named.conf.
** named-checkzone can be used to check for type or syntax errors in your zone files.
Please check out the man page for details.
