CentOS - May 2007 - Configuring bind

I'm new to Centos and am in the process of building a new server.

On my test box, I've installed CentOS v5 x86_64.

When starting bind for the first time I found that named.conf and
various zone files where missing.

I installed named.conf along with localdomain.zone, localhost.zone,
named.broadcast, named.ca, named.ip6.local, named.local, named.zero
along with a couple test domains.

The problem I'm having is when I use this box as a nameserver from
another box or a workstation. If at the prompt of the test box I can
ping say google.com, but not from my workstation or other local
development boxes when using this testbox as a nameserver. The
named.conf and zone files were copied from another local development
box with RH 8 installed.

I am of course pointing to the test box to use as DNS server in my
workstation tcp/ip config.

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you checked your logs for errors? Are you using selinux? If
you've copied files over from a previous version, they may not have
the appropriate contexts for selinux, and will not function properly.

Also, have you checked the firewall?
