Bind /etc/named.conf Missing

i was trying to install bind dns server with my centos 5 and i couldnt locate the /etc/named.conf

i tried installing using

yum install bind-chroot bind*

and looks like there is often a problem with bind installed through yum. when i tried to restart the named daemon i am getting failed.

Locating //etc/named.conf: [FAILED]

This is a bug on centos 5 saying that no longer /etc/named.conf bundled. see this

How to Fix:

If you have installed bind-chroot, then it uses default configuration file instead of

if you have used yum with yum install bind, then /etc/named.conf should be probably missing. so while installing bind with centos 5 use yum install bind-chroot
