Please do __NOT__ post your reply on top of a long quoted part of the
original. Both top-posting and failing to trim quoted material to the
absolutely minimum necessary size are considered "bad netiquette" on
this list.
Having said that, you can check your /var/log/messages for interesting
bits sent there by the named process as it starts:
# tail -f /var/log/messages | grep named
Then, restart your named and watch for interesting output.
For extra bonus points, you can add a special "named" entry in your
/etc/syslog.conf file:
!named
*.* /var/log/named.log
which will direct only the messages from named to a special log file.
Remember to restart syslogd after you add this to syslog.conf and then
use tail -f on the named.log file to watch for named output.
Then, after having all the necessary information from a named reload,
you may have more hints and/or clues about what's wrong.
