I think that you made a small mistake. If you want to start a daemon,
you have to enable it in /etc/rc.conf, otherwise it won't start (every
rc script sources /etc/rc.conf with the line 'load_rc_config').

Try adding 

named_enable="YES"

to /etc/rc.conf, and try again. If you look in /etc/defaults/rc.conf,
and search for 'named', you can see that it is disabled by default. You
can also see there the rest of the options you can set for named.

Hope this helps,

Roland
