I'm trying to set up a caching-only nameserver using bind-8 but I think
I've messed up the config somewhere as I get the following log entry
when I start named.

My config files are as follows:

/etc/named.conf

options {
	directory "/var/named";

};

zone "." {
	type hint;
	file "root.hints";
};

zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
	type master;
	file "pz/127.0.0";
};

/var/named/root.hints

All this is lifted straight out of the DNS howto. What am I doing wrong?
I suspect that it's something silly but I'm just not seeing it :-(
