bind 2.1a3 on centos 6.4

[Brian Cuttler]

Len,

Fair enough.

When I mispoint the -c option or misname the file I get an error
that its not found.

When I change the name of a database file in in the named.conf
zone definition it doesn't seem to notice.

So, yes, I agree that we are reading no data, but it seems
to know if its finding the named.conf file or not. It knows
(because I also tested) if the "directory" directive in named.conf
is valid.

the zone files are all readable, I just don't know why I'm (nslint)
is apparently not reading them when the prereqs seem to be correct.

What prerequisit am I missing?
