-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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.
