Edit your /etc/named.conf file and add the listen-on option to tell BIND
the interfaces you want it to listen to. Something like:
options {
listen-on { 192.168.1.1; };
};
Replace the address above with your eth0 address. Don't add a second
options block, just add the listen-on line to the existing one.
