cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain mydomain.com
nameserver 127.0.0.1

i changed it to mydomain.com for annonynimity but i have the actual name in 
the file

cat /etc/bind/named.conf
options {
        directory "/var/bind";
 
        // uncomment the following lines to turn on DNS forwarding,
        // and change the forwarding ip address(es) :
        //forward first;
        //forwarders {
        //      123.123.123.123;
        //      123.123.123.123;
        //};
 
        listen-on-v6 { none; };
        listen-on { 127.0.0.1; };
 
        // to allow only specific hosts to use the DNS server:
        allow-query {
                127.0.0.1;
        };
 
        // if you have problems and are behind a firewall:
        //query-source address * port 53;
        pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
};
 
zone "." IN {
        type hint;
        file "named.ca";
};
 
zone "localhost" IN {
        type master;
        file "pri/localhost.zone";
        allow-update { none; };
        notify no;
};
 
zone "127.in-addr.arpa" IN {
        type master;
        file "pri/127.zone";
        allow-update { none; };
        notify no;
};
 
logging {
category lame-servers { null; };
 
};
