check for any errors on startup in /var/log/messages. If that is not of
much help, you may need to enable more level of logging. I would suggest
something like this in the named.conf 

logging {
        channel "channel-name" {
                file "/var/log/named";
                print-time yes;
                print-severity yes;
                print-category yes;
                severity debug 3;
        };

        channel "querylog" {
                file "/var/log/query.log";
                print-time yes;
                print-category yes;
                print-severity yes;
        };

        category "queries" { "querylog"; };

    category "default" { "channel-name"; };
    category "general" { "channel-name"; };
    category "database" { "channel-name"; };
    category "security" { "channel-name"; };
    category "config" { "channel-name"; };
    category "resolver" { "channel-name"; };
    category "xfer-in" { "channel-name"; };
    category "xfer-out" { "channel-name"; };
    category "notify" { "channel-name"; };
    category "client" { "channel-name"; };
    category "unmatched" { "channel-name"; };
    category "network" { "channel-name"; };
    category "update" { "channel-name"; };
    category "dispatch" { "channel-name"; };
    category "dnssec" { "channel-name"; };
    category "lame-servers" { "channel-name"; };
    category "delegation-only" { "channel-name"; };
};

This includes complete logging in /var/log/named file with debug
information too. I had one of my friends also saying the same complaint
about bind in Fedora - didnt check yet.
