Where on the filesystem is your 'domainx.zones' file?

According to you 'include "domainx.zones"' it should be 
'/var/named/domainx.zones', but according to your 'cat 
var/domainx.zones' it's in some 'var/' subdirectory.

Either use the full path for the include or move the domainx.zones file 
into the /var/named and use a relative path from there.
