On some systems, the named boot script provided with the bind rpms don't seem to reliably reload the named program. You can obtain a new named boot script by running the following:

RedHat:
cd /etc/init.d
mv named named.backup
wget -O named http://www.directadmin.com/named
chmod 755 named
/sbin/chkconfig named reset

This boot script uses a more direct method of reloading named.

Debian:
cd /etc/init.d
mv named named.backup
wget -O named http://www.directadmin.com/named.debian
chmod 755 named

FreeBSD:
cd /usr/local/etc/rc.d
mv named named.backup
wget -O named http://www.directadmin.com/named.freebsd
chmod 755 named
