I Know there always lots of answer about Bind. But somehow I can't understand the problem of my settings.
Here is my configuration
options { listen-on port 53 { 192.168.159.130; }; 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 { any; }; recursion yes; } zone "example.com" IN { type master; file "example.fz"; allow-update { none; }; }; zone "159.168.192.in-addr.arpa" IN { type master; file "example.rz"; allow-update { none; }; }; # /var/named/example.fz file
$TTL 1D @ IN SOA @ example.com. ( 0 ; serial 1D ; refresh 1H ; retry 1W ; expire 3H ) ; minimum IN NS ns1.example.com. IN A 192.168.159.130 ns1 IN A 192.168.159.130 # /var/named/example.rz file
$TTL 1D @ IN SOA @ rname.invalid. ( 0 ; serial 1D ; refresh 1H ; retry 1W ; expire 3H ) ; minimum

Hopefully someone could point at something.
Note: I have restarted bind several times.
