hi keefaz,
sorry, was trying to be concise....
full named.conf:
// generated by named-bootconf.pl
acl "jingohosts" { 127/8; 192.168.0.0/24; };
options {
directory "/var/named";
allow-query { "jingohosts"; };
/*
* If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want
* to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source
* directive below. Previous versions of BIND always asked
* questions using port 53, but BIND 8.1 uses an unprivileged
* port by default.

// query-source address * port 53;

in trying to solve the issue, i have added some extra bits. they haven't seemed to affected functionality to the web, but no further with local host resolving. one of these additions is the "acl" in the named.conf file.
thanks again
