#yum -y install bind-9.x.x.x
#cd /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.6/sample/etc
#cp -v * /etc/
#cd /usr/share/doc/bind-9.3.6/sample/var/named
#cp -rv * /var/named/
#service named start (result will be FAILED)
#vim /etc/named.conf (Please delete from line "// All BIND 9 zones are in a "view", which allow different zones to be served") And your named.conf will look like below:

//
// Sample named.conf BIND DNS server 'named' configuration file
