I have just re setup my Linux developement websorver using Fedora.

I used to use DNS with an imaginary domain and wildcards for testing. 
Let's call it xyz so sites are site1.xyz site2.xyz with the actual
name being handled by Apache name-based virtual hosting.

I can't get the DNS working again.
The server is on 10.0.0.3 and is called lionel
I can access the default website from other computers in the network
woth 10.0.0.3 and with lionel but nit with lionel.xyz
For the time being I am happy just to get DNS working and will worry
about wild cards later.
rdnc start (or stop or ....)  gives
rndc: connect failed: connection refused

named.conf is in /var/named/chroot/etc
and reads:
-----
zone "xyz" {
        allow-query (any;);
        type master;
        notify no;
        file "xyz.zone";
};
-----

rdnc.key is in the same directory and is empty.

There is also rdnc.key in /etc with 
-----
key "rndckey" {
        algorithm       hmac-md5;
        secret "L9EJnz0ahTCcZbMycUaKy4Ipxp0D6Doxqy0yEsVZKXDmK63r9FXEsFErvDf4";
};
-----
and rndc.conf in /etc with:
-----
options {
        default-server  localhost;
        default-key     "rndckey";
};

server localhost {
        key     "rndckey";
};

include "/etc/rndc.key";

xyz.zone is in /var/named/chroot/var/named and reads:
-----
ns.xyz.  IN      SOA     localhost       root    (
                                41 ; serial
                                28800 ; refresh
                                14400 ; retry
                                3600000 ; expire
                                86400 ; ttl
                                )
10.0.0.3                IN      NS      ns.xyz.
lionel.xyz               IN      A       10.0.0.3
