Here is a mistake. Is a 'directory' in /etc/namedb/named.conf set to
'/var/named/etc/namedb'?"/var/named/etc/namedb" is a global path, named starting in chroot won't be able to see it. Just change it back to "/etc/namedb". HTH, Karol -- Karol Kwiatkowski <karol.kwiat at gmail dot com> OpenPGP 0x06E09309
