New to BIND

[George Esperanza]

Hello BIND users!
 
I'm new to bind and i'm trying to experiment installing
bind in an Intranet network (no internet connection) to 
resolve local network ip addresses.
I'm running BIND 9.2.2 in a Linux with 2.4.2 kernel.
I've already setup the files needed to run named and it
shows no error on startup. All i see is this in the log file:
 
>Aug 14 17:33:14 amygpe named[512]: using 1 CPU
>Aug 14 17:33:14 amygpe named[512]: loading configuration from '/etc/named.conf'
>Aug 14 17:33:14 amygpe named[512]: no IPv6 interfaces found
>Aug 14 17:33:14 amygpe named[512]: command channel listening on 127.0.0.1#953
>Aug 14 17:33:15 amygpe named[512]: zone 0.0.127.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 2004081400
>Aug 14 17:33:15 amygpe named[512]: zone 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 2004081400
>Aug 14 17:33:15 amygpe named[512]: zone homelinux.net/IN: loaded serial 2004081400
>Aug 14 17:33:15 amygpe named[512]: running
 
When i try to ping:
ping amygpe.homelinux.net   
(it says) ping: unknown host amygpe.homelinux.net
 
Please tell me what's wrong with my configuration, I've attached all
my named config file for you to see what i've done. 
 
I still don't have registered domain so i just pick homelinux.net which
is registered by somebody else.  I'm planning to have one later  but 
i need to make this thing first.  
 
Please help, thanks. :(
