Hello Experts

I need some help with bind-chroot

We are running below version of bind and bind-chroot

bind-9.11.2-lp151.10.1.x86_64
bind-chrootenv-9.11.2-lp151.10.1.x86_64

Our Automation code is running to add Zone files to 
/var/lib/named/etc/named.conf only and not to /etc/named.conf

So in order to reflect the zone files created in /var/lib/named/etc/named.conf 
in /etc/named.conf, i created a symbolic link in /etc as "ln -s 
/var/lib/named/etc/named.conf named.conf" to reflect as below
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Dec  9 11:03 named.conf -> 
/var/lib/named/etc/named.conf

Now, when I make changes to file in /var/lib/named/etc/named.conf and do a 
"service named restart"
The file in /etc/named.conf fails to Load

Error messages in /var/log/messages as below

and the Symbolic link changes color to Red.
Why is this happening?
And how can avoid this error
