Evening everyone.

I'm not sure what is going on, but for some reason, i can't seem to get 
BIND to load my zone records. I've read and re-read all of my files, 
just to make sure I wasn't going crazy. I dont know what it is. The logs 
show no activity of zone records being loaded. I double checked my files 
by asking a colleague to verify. We didn't find any errors.

BTW, the system is FreeBSD 4.9,
BIND named 8.3.6-REL Mon Oct 27 14:55:35 GMT 2003 
root at freebsd-stable.sentex.ca:/usr/obj/usr/src/usr.sbin/named

I wont beat around the bush. I'll post my information here.

named.conf

    file "family.db";
};

When I restart named:

B.ROOT-SERVERS.NET class 1 do not match hint records

No zones are being loaded...

Anyone have any idea? I am at my wits end here and hair pulling has begun.

I appreciate it.
