This morning our server started failing to reload or start.

checking the status reveals not a lot of info:

systemctl status named-chroot

  Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/named-chroot.service; enabled; vendor 
preset: disabled)
  Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Thu 2021-11-04 11:55:17 MST; 27s ago

"yes" ]; then /usr/sbin/named-checkconf -t /var/named/chroot -z "$NAMEDCONF"; 
else echo "Checking of zone files is disabled"; fi (code=exit>

named-checkconf -z revealed a name had been entered with underscores. The 
person responsible has been sacked. (not really, merely reminded no underscores 
are allowed in A records :-)

Does named-checkzone not check for this?
