Test the zone files. ( read 'man named-checkzone' ) Particularly if
you are importing from an older version of BIND.

Did you set up your rndc configs? Because rndc uses a password in the
conf files to communicate it will not work with a default
configuration. Read 'man rndc'.

You can also reload your configs by restarting named: `/etc/rc.d/named rest=
art'

Also. named is configured to run chrooted by default, make sure you
run the above restart command to set the correct permissions on the
chrooted directory.
