Please place commands and output in [code] tags.

I'll bite: What's on line 47 in /etc/named.conf? On line 57?

And why is there a comment in front of the zone definition for hint?

Pretty much everything scasey said. Also pointing out that izone does not appear in your cat of the file, yet it shows in your error report. Additionally, your cat of this file does not reveal a file that is as lengthy as the error messages indicate.

Please follow the requests already made by scasey and give members additional information.

I would try removing the '#' on line 47.

most ISP don't want you running "a full named server" because it can cause their systems issues, and they charge extra for ability to run servers (however unfair that is, is not the point)

if your your going to run your own nameserver, which can effect operations on other computers, than you should be able to solve issues yourself

you shouldn't activate it unless you know how it works and have tested it isn't cause (delivery) issues on remote servers

there aren't 47 lines in your shown config file.

I'm sorry, but there is no way that running one's own name server is ever going to affect operations on other (remote) computers. A name server has no effect unless a computer refers to it.
The one exception to that statement I just made is if the name server is authoritative for a domain name...I seriously doubt that is the case for the OP...

We need the OP to respond to the other, helpful, posts in this thread before we can assist further....
