Pardon me if its a noob question. I am new to dns and linux. I am geting amazed by power of linux everyday. I am trying to setup Bind server on Centos to use it as main dns server for my lan. I have installed and configured bind using this https://www.tecmint.com/install-bind-private-dns-server-on-rhel-8/ . Systemctl status is showing that service is running ok but nslookup cant find my server NXDOMAIN. Netstat is showing me following output.

tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:953 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 21243/named
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 21243/named
tcp6 0 0 ::1:953 :::* LISTEN 21243/named
tcp6 0 0 ::1:53 :::* LISTEN 21243/named
udp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* 21243/named
udp6 0 0 ::1:53 :::* 21243/named

Can anybody point me where I am wrong. How do I setup a simple dns server that other computers on my Lan can use as a DNS server. Any quality tuorial/documents over DNS and BIND is very appreciated.
