Here goes. First of all, my /etc/sysconfig section for named reads:
~~~~~~~~~~
# Set to appropriate flags for named, if you have a full-time
# connection to the Internet.
# For most hosts, flags should be "-b /etc/namedb/named.boot"
namedflags="-b /etc/namedb/named.boot"
~~~~~~~~~~
When named starts, it reads /etc/namedb/named.boot:
~~~~~~~~~~

; From: @(#)named.boot 5.1 (Berkeley) 6/30/90
; boot file for secondary name server
; Note that there should be one primary entry for each SOA record.
; example sortlist config:
; sortlist 128.3.0.0
directory /etc/namedb
; type domain source host/file

That's all, folks. Hacking up the softweyr.* files and named.boot
should get your nameserver up and running. This probably isn't
perfect, but "it works for me." ;^)
