It should look like this:

/etc/resolve.conf
search your_domain.com
nameserver 192.168.2.your_ip

/etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 	localhost.localdomain		localhost

append your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 
with 
PEERDNS=no

The your /etc/named.conf
zone "example.com" {
type slave;
masters { 192.168.2.1; };
file "slave-forward_zone_file";
};

zone "2.168.192.IN-ADDR.ARPA" {
type slave;
masters  { 192.168.2.1; };
file "slave-reverse_zone_file";
};

restart named service
examin the slave-forward_zone_file zone and the slave-reverse_zone_file they 
should contain copies of the master from your master server.
Dont forget to replace the IPs for your own.
Cheers
