BIND is BIND is BIND. It makes no difference. You have to describe
what you mean by "I cannot get the DNS to work correctly." That means,
did you check your config file using named-checkconf, and did you use
named-checkzone to verify your zone file contents, e.g.
named-checkzone . bogus.root ??? What's in your logfiles?

A named.conf file as simple as what follows will work just fine:

server <<<your IP address here>>> {
         bogus yes;
};

options {
         directory "/etc/namedb";
         recursion no;
};

zone "." {
         type master;
         file "master/bogus.root";
};

The directory and file directives have to be customized to your
environment. If you still can't make it work, try posting your
named.conf and zone file.
