Bind /named stopped working - getting SERVFAIL

Hi all!

I'm stumped... One one of the systems here the bind/named server suddenly stopped
resolving any addresses. According to ps & netstat it is up and running/listening:
Code:


ps ax | grep named
24273 ?        Ssl    0:03 /usr/sbin/named -u named -n 3


&

Code:
netstat -a -n | grep 53
tcp        0      0 192.168.240.10:53       0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 192.168.24.10:53        0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:53            0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
tcp        0      0 127.0.0.1:953           0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN
udp        0      0 192.168.240.10:53       0.0.0.0:*
udp        0      0 192.168.24.10:53        0.0.0.0:*
udp        0      0 127.0.0.1:53            0.0.0.0:*


However, any attempt to use it gives me:
Code:
;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 127.0.0.1, trying next server

(Feel free to test for yourself: the server listens also on 82.148.165.182 )

What could be the problem?
