I'd like to use BIND9 in the simplest way possible: I just want to install it and use it for name resolution of Internet hosts. So, on Ubuntu 12.04, I run "sudo apt-get install bind9 bind9utils bind9-doc" and then "dig @127.0.0.1 <http://127.0.0.1> www.amazon.com <http://www.amazon.com>" (for example), but I ALWAYS obtain a SERVFAIL.
Why? Is it necessary a configuration for this minimal use, too?


Yes, it's necessary to have a named.conf in the proper location and you have to start named. Is named even running?

See the ARM for a sample for a caching-only name server, which is what you are asking for.
