+If you have secondary name servers for your Chaosnet data, you need to add explicit notification configuration, since bind will otherwise try to contact the secondary servers over Chaosnet, and fail since bind itself does not run over Chaosnet (yet ;-)).
+In that case, try something like
+<code>
+    view "chaos" CH {
+      match-clients { any; };
+      zone "my.do.ma.in" CH {
+    	  type master;
+    	  file "mydomain.zone";
+          notify explicit;
+          also-notify { 123.123.123.123; };
+      };
+    };
+</code>
+where 123.123.123.123 is the IP address of your secondary name server.
 ==== Example contents of the zone file ====
+Note that the class indicator "CH" is redundant since the zone and view specify that already.
