Not really, the filenames you choose are more a matter of personal
taste and style. Bind does not really care about the names. It does
get angry if the files do not exist though, or have syntax errors.

Bind tried to read your named.conf looking for an `options' statement,
but it failed to find one, or the one you have had syntax errors and
named ignored it.

If you do have these files in /etc/namedb check the permissions and
owner of these files. Although I fear that you have them, but not in
the right place.
You should probably get a nice book on setting up named, or read
carefully the documentation at /usr/share/doc/bind/html. Bind is a
nice beast but it takes care and patience when feeding it.
