okay I followed the configuration to a tee and still having timeout issues.

I am still having time out issues.  what else cna I check:

1) generated new rndc key
2) copied the new rndc-kay to the rndc.conf file
3) placed the include /etc/rndc.key in the /etc/named.conf file
4)  then added the controls stanza as well.

here is a copy of my /etc/rndc.conf file:

-- snip ---

options {
        default-server  localhost;
        default-key     "rndc-key";
};

server localhost {
        key     "rndc-key";
};

key "rndc-key" {
        algorithm hmac-md5;
        secret "<key>";
};

--- snip ---
