If you are already running named, the correct way to reload the
configuration, after making changes to it, is *NOT* to manually run
/usr/sbin/named.  Try using the rc.d script:

	# /etc/rc.d/named restart

Then, you need to fix the db.10.* zone files, because they have some
obvious errors, reported above in your log files.
