I'm just tring to configure a DNS server in my local I configure the /etc/named.conf
options { listen-on port 53 { 127.0.0.1; 192.168.220.135; }; listen-on-v6 port 53 { ::1; }; directory "/var/named"; dump-file "/var/named/data/cache_dump.db"; statistics-file "/var/named/data/named_stats.txt"; memstatistics-file "/var/named/data/named_mem_stats.txt"; allow-query { localhost; 192.168.220.0/24; }; allow-transfer{ localhost; 192.168.220.136; }; recursion yes; dnssec-enable yes; dnssec-validation yes; dnssec-lookaside auto; /* Path to ISC DLV key */ bindkeys-file "/etc/named.iscdlv.key"; managed-keys-directory "/var/named/dynamic"; also-notify { }; }; logging { channel default_debug { file "data/named.run"; severity dynamic; }; }; zone "."

domain ayoub.local search ayoub.local nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 192.168.220.136 when i test the domaine with nslookup
;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 127.0.0.1, trying next server ;; connection timed out; trying next origin ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 127.0.0.1, trying next server ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached and when i set /etc/resolv.conf with that
search localdomain nameserver 192.168.220.2 i see comme result of nslookup
Server: 192.168.220.2 Address: 192.168.220.2#53 ** server can't find ayoub.local: NXDOMAIN 2 Answers
Sometimes error happens due to nameserver 127.0.0.1
So in resolve.conf use following or any other name server you like.
Here is my resolve.conf file
nameserver 8.8.8.8 nameserver 1.1.1.1 I resolved the problem. I just forgot to change the group of direct. zone and inverse.zone from the root to named, command is :
chgroup named /var/named/direct.zone and I force resolve to not changing by the DHCP :
chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
