It appears that the man-page that comes with FC1 describing "named" is not quite right. In particular, it refers to the default configuration file being in /etc/named.conf (where I had it in RedHat 7.2), whereas the Fedora release notes have some references to an alternate location in /var. So, when I put my conf file back to /etc/named.conf, things didn't quite work as expected.
I wonder if this could be explained, maybe even in the release notes.
