Does it work if you restart named?

If not, can you confirm it is listening on your intended interfaces 
(including 127.0.0.1) even if not working?

> $ time host www.google.com 127.0.0.1
> ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Can you confirm that you can query for that without? (Such as  dig 
@216.239.34.10 www.google.com  or dig @8.8.8.8 www.google.com)

> $ time host localhost 127.0.0.1
> ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

Do you have a localhost zone defined? (Sometimes the messages from host 
like the one above are misleading and even the named may be working 
correctly but it is slow.)
