Hmm.  There isn't enough information available to say what's going on=20
for certain, but what you are doing ought to work fine.

Do you have a permanent network connection which is available when your=20=

system boots?  If the network isn't available, named can't talk to=20
other nameservers and it will probably cause a very long delay which=20
matches your description.

Check /var/log/messages after a system reboot for messages relating to=20=

named.  You ought to see something like this:

May 11 15:21:19 <daemon.notice> pi named[9319]: starting=20
(/etc/named.conf).  nam
ed 8.3.7-REL Tue Dec  2 14:40:53 EST 2003      =20
root@ns1.pkix.net:/usr/obj/usr/s
rc/usr.sbin/named
May 11 15:21:19 <daemon.warn> pi named[9319]: limit files set to=20
fdlimit (1024)
May 11 15:21:19 <daemon.notice> pi named[9320]: Ready to answer queries.
May 11 15:21:19 <daemon.warn> pi named[9320]: check_hints: A records=20
for B.ROOT-
SERVERS.NET class 1 do not match hint records

If there were problems with your named.conf file or one of the zone=20
files, you'd see warning messages which ought to be fixed.
