I have installed bind9 in ubuntu 9.04. This error arises when I try to restart bind9 after some configurations.

To find out what is preventing bind9 from getting started,  your can use this command

named -g -p 53

18-Aug-2009 22:43:35.631 starting BIND 9.5.1-P2 -g -p 53
18-Aug-2009 22:43:35.632 found 1 CPU, using 1 worker thread

18-Aug-2009 22:43:35.642 /etc/bind/named.conf.options:17: expected IP address near ‘{‘

18-Aug-2009 22:43:35.643 loading configuration: unexpected token
18-Aug-2009 22:43:35.643 exiting (due to fatal error)

Everything becomes fine after I change the expected IP to one contained /etc/resolv.conf.

Good luck.
