Bind won't start: /etc/named.conf

I have just installed bind on a CentOS 5 machine but it won't start
without /etc/named.conf:

[root at venus etc]# /etc/init.d/named start
Locating //etc/named.conf failed:
                                                           [FAILED]
[root at venus etc]# touch /etc/named.conf
[root at venus etc]# /etc/init.d/named start
Starting named:                                            [  OK  ]

Now, a blank named.conf isn't helpful, but I cannot use the named.conf
from another server as a template because it references other files
(specifically /etc/db.cache). What is the "default" named.conf file
for CentOS? I have tried to google for it but have not been able to
find something that works.

Thanks in advance.
