Hi,

Check the namesserver in /etc/resolv.conf

Check is named=1 in /etc/rc.config.d/namesvrs

verify the file /etc/nsswitch.conf

To restart the named daemon

sig_named restart

To start /stop named
/sbin/init.d/named stop
/sbin/init.d/named start

SBZ,
what are the permissions on named ?
#which named
#ll `which named`
should be at least 544 (r-xr--r--)
Also:
file `which named`
