Were these hard reboots or shutdowns those the command line? If they were hard 
shutdowns you could have some filesystem corruption. I have been running 
named in a production environment for a very long time and have NEVER had any 
problems unless there was filesystem corruption.

Named logs can be a saving grace to help you troubleshoot the source of your 
problem. Also it is always helpful to backup all your named files/zones 
periodically in case of just this, just a necessary a precaution as a UPS.
