I think you'll have to explain what you've tried.  A very brief synopsis
of how I've done what you're trying (run a caching name server, also as
a slave server for local DNS) follows:

I added two configuration files, and left the remaining ones as they
were:

My "/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf" file:

---------------[begin paste]------------------
## LAN:

view  lan_resolver {
        match-clients      { localhost; };
        match-destinations { localhost; };
        include "/etc/lan.conf";
        include "/etc/rndc.key";
};

include "/etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf";

## end of file
---------------[end paste]------------------

You'd want to customise where my example uses "localhost" to suit the
networks you're going to allow to query the server.

And my "/var/named/chroot/etc/lan.conf" file:

---------------[begin paste]------------------
## LAN:

zone "lan.example.com" {
        type slave;
        file  "slaves/lan.example.com.zone";
        masters { 192.168.1.2; };
};

zone "1.168.192.in-addr.arpa" {
        type slave;
        file  "slaves/1.168.192.in-addr.arpa.zone";
        masters { 192.168.1.2; };
};

---------------[end paste]------------------

Then my slave zone files get created, automatically in
"/var/named/chroot/var/named/slaves".  And that's it...
