Here is my named.conf file in its entirety:

options {
        directory "/var/named";
        dump-file "/var/named/named_dump.db";
        datasize 2m;
        statistics-file "/var/named/named.stats";

        listen-on {
        192.168.0.1;
        127.0.0.1 ;
        };

        allow-query {
        192.168.0.0/24;
        127.0.0.1;
        };

        forwarders {
        24.153.23.66;
        24.153.22.195;
        };

        allow-recursion {
        192.168.0.0/24;
        127.0.0.1;
        };

        allow-transfer {
        none;
        };

        query-source address * port 53;
};

logging {
        file "named.messages";
        severity debug;
        };
};

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

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

zone "0.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
        type master;
        file "pz/0.168.192";
};

zone "mydomain.org" {
        type master;
        notify no;
        file "pz/mydomain.org";
};
