BIND9 DNS server config file ( named.config.options)

Question

Why my Bind wouldn start with this conf file?

options {
        version "Not available";
        directory "/var/cache/bind";
        forwarders {
                212.129.64.220;
                212.129.64.221;
};

acl "mynetwork" {
         127/8;  172.16.0.0/12;  10.0.0.0/8;  192.168.0.0/16; };

view "internal" {
         match-clients { mynetwork; };
         allow-query { mynetwork; };
         allow-recursion { mynetwork; };
         match-recursive-only yes;

};

view "external" {
         match-clients { any; };
         allow-query { any; };
         allow-recursion { none; };
         match-recursive-only no;
};

Answer 1

You are missing the closing brace } in your options section. There is a closing brace that works either for the forwarders sub-section or the options section, but you need two so that both get closed.

Also, consider cleaning up the formatting so that separate directives are on separate lines.
