Here are some basic config files.
# named.conf
options {
directory "/var/named";
};
zone "." {
type hint;
file "named.ca";
};
zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "named.local";
};
# private network resolution
zone "private.prv" {
type master;
file "private.prv.db";
zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
type master;
file "192.168.1.db";
};
# named.local
@ IN SOA localhost. root.localhost. (
1997022700 ; Serial
28800 ; Refresh
14400 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Minimum
IN NS localhost.
1 IN PTR localhost.
# private.prv.db
@ IN SOA warlock. dnsadmin.private.prv (
1 ;Serial
28800 ; Refresh
14400 ; Retry
3600000 ; Expire
86400 ) ; Min
IN NS warlock.private.prv.
IN MX 10 mail.private.prv

mail IN A 192.168.1.10
princess IN A 192.168.1.12
# 1.168.192.db
@ IN SOA warlock. dnsadmin.private.prv (
1 ;Serial
28800 ; Refresh
14400 ; Retry

10 IN PTR warlock.private.prv.
12 IN PTR princess.private.prv.
The named.ca hints file is best created by using 'dig >named.ca'
If this is not possible then here is the one I use:
# named.ca
