to see if named pack is installed, do:

[root@server home]# rpm -qa | grep bind
bindconf-1.4-1 (not necessary needed)
bind-9.2.1-0.71.1
bind-utils-9.2.1-0.71.1

if you don't got them, you need to install them
by default, named is listening on all addresses

start named with command:

[root@server home]# /etc/rc.d/init.d/named start


to see if you've running named processes, do:

[root@server home]# ps -ef | grep named
named    25446     1  0 19:16 ?        00:00:00 named -u named
named    25448 25446  0 19:16 ?        00:00:00 named -u named
named    25449 25448  0 19:16 ?        00:00:00 named -u named
named    25450 25448  0 19:16 ?        00:00:00 named -u named
named    25451 25448  0 19:16 ?        00:00:00 named -u named
root     27282 24938  0 20:36 pts/1    00:00:00 grep named

check if it's working:

[root@server home]# nslookup www.yahoo.com
Note:  nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead.  Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.

Thanks , I will add the IP addresses of nameservers.

But I can no longer see the 'named' process on my Linux gateway. I do not know why it has disappeared. How can I re-install it?
