here is something new to me - I have been reading on this subject for several
days, and somehow missed the need to have named.conf in /etc be a symlink to
the one in chroot - it makes perfect sense

no - I asked about that very issue several posts back, but I guess you missed
that - I spotted that discrepancy in the Redhat documentation and asked about
it, but no one responded - I had the 'include' statement in rndc.conf but not
in named.conf - this is just from default installation - Redhat docs
mentioned it being needed in named.conf but didn't mention this line in the
rndc.conf doc at all - I had asked whether it should be in both - made sense
to me....

this I've done per your suggestion of a couple of posts back
I guess my next step is to delete the named.conf in /etc, and create a symlink
there, instead, to the one in chroot, and then put the 'include' statement in
it...
