With this you have a working cahe nameserver. No need more config.

But I think I improve the caching-nameserver when I edit
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf and add in the options section:

        forward only;
        forwarders {
                IP.of.my.first.real.nameserver;
                IP.of.my.second.real.nameserver;
        };

Fernando.
