I take it you mean you used '--dns-backend=NONE' with the provision
command or you ran the provision command interactively and enter 'NONE'
when prompted for the dns server.

Which ever you did, it was a BAD idea.
If you want to use Bind9 as the dns server instead of the internal dns
server, install bind9 before the provision and use
'--dns-backend=BIND9_DLZ' with the provision command or, if you run the
provision interactively, enter 'BIND9_DLZ' when prompted for the dns
server.
Do not under any circumstances use 'BIND9_FLATFILE', it doesn't work,
just as using 'NONE' doesn't work.
