Dec 12 16:12:41 bullet named[9069]: starting BIND 9.2.5 -u named -n 1

Here's my /etc/bind/named.conf:
bullet log # cat /etc/bind/named.conf
options {
directory "/etc/bind";
};
zone "espersunited.com" in {
type master;
file "db.espersunited.com";
};
zone "." in {
type hint;
file "db.cache";
};
pid-file "/var/run/named/named.pid";
It still won't start.
