Hello,

I'm using BIND 9.3.4-P1 on Linux CentOS 5.2.

I'm trying to set up a local caching DNS server but when I try to test
my set-up using:

dig google.com +trace

I get the message:

dig: couldn't get address for 'F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET': failure

I'm pretty much a DNS beginner but I'd really like to understand why
this is happening.
