OK, so you have setup bind to be authortative in some way.
Openresolv wants to setup forwarding servers.
These two facts maybe in conflict.
Now, I am no expert with bind configs, but it would really help if you
could post your non working configuration and explain how it should be
changed by openresolv to work for you.
If you can do that, I'm sure we can make more progress with this issue.
