Mike,


According to your notes above, you *didn't* install the bind-chroot package or 
else you would have a package like this "bind-chroot.i386".

Your /etc/sysconfig/named file indicates that BIND should be running chroot. 
However, none of the entries in the named.conf file point to that chroot 
directory structure.
