Hy,

Any Idea ?

It was not started even i restarted the server.

What do i have to modify that it will automatically start ?

 

DNS service starts automatically at boot. See log file to find out why it did not start.
If it starts when you do:

Code:

systemctl start named.service

maybe startup scripts are run in wrong order? That should not happen unless they have been modified.
