Derek,

nsswitch.conf hasn't been modified from the default:
[root at chadwick ~]# cat /etc/nsswitch.conf
group: compat
group_compat: nis
hosts: files dns
networks: files
passwd: compat
passwd_compat: nis
shells: files

And I've been verifying named is running after every stop/start of the rc
script:
[root at chadwick ~]# ps aux|grep named
bind      26207  4.1  0.2  4060  3328  ??  Ss    7:09PM
0:00.08/usr/sbin/named -t /var/named -u bind
root      10645  0.0  0.0  1300   952  ??  Ss    6:09AM
0:02.08/usr/sbin/syslogd -l /var/run/log -l /var/named/var/run/log -s

There has to be something I'm missing as I've set this is up in the exact
same manner on a dev box at home using the same named.conf and master files,
and still yield the same results.
