bind conf with linux RH9 / Apache / bind 9.2.1

[waltwhit]

I have Apache installed and working for multiple named virtual hosts. Now i am trying to set up DNS primary on the same computer using Bind 9.2.1 using the Domain Name service app. It has not seemed to work. print out of query:

[66.43.222.151] returned an authoritative response in 63 ms: Answer records

When i try to go to

http://www.waarc.com

it still goes to the old underconstruction page at networksolutions. I have updated the info at networksolutions to change DNS servers using

http://www.secondary.org

as the 2nd server. And it seems this is all updated.
I notice there is nothing under Authority records and i am guessing this is problem, but can not get anything in there using the domain name service app. So I am now trying to fix manually in named.conf and associated files.
This brings me to the problem when i find examples of a Bind 9 named.conf it has the command "Options { " and my config uses the command "controls { " . The examples have other differences like pid file "named.pid" and /etc/nameddb instead of /etc/named i assume.
Do i need to upgrade to 9.2.2? or is my config file just wrong for somereason?
