Hello!
I installed fedora 7 on one of my servers about 3 weeks ago and setup the local name server for my local network. I set this up, originally ~3 years ago, because I was seeing some serious latency problems with my isp's name servers. I also do a lot of repair on machines that belong to clients and just thought it would be easier to run my own nameservers.
I seems that after the 07/31/07 update of the following bind packages I have an intermittent problem with dns resolution.
Jul 31 00:10:11 Updated: bind-libs.i386 31:9.4.1-8.P1.fc7 Jul 31 00:13:45 Updated: bind.i386 31:9.4.1-8.P1.fc7 Jul 31 00:14:20 Updated: bind-chroot.i386 31:9.4.1-8.P1.fc7 Jul 31 00:16:15 Updated: bind-utils.i386 31:9.4.1-8.P1.fc7
Every so often, maybe 2 to 3 times a day, my name resolution will go south. I have to restart the name service for it to start working again. Some times it requires multiple restarts before it will work again.
I noticed that the ownership of the files located in /var/named/chroot/var/named = root:root sso I changed them to named:named and this did not help.
I have checked the content of the forward and reverse zone files for my local network and all seems to be in order. I also removed the caching-nameserver package and that did not help.
Any thoughts or info would be greatly appreciated.

I have a similar setup and have my own local zone as well. I am not seeing this problem. However, in /var/named/chroot/var/named/, files are owned by root:named and the three directories (data, dynamic, and slaves) by named:named. Also:
[root@charlesc etc]# ll /var/named/chroot/var/ total 40 drwxr-x--- 5 root named 4096 2003-03-13 16:22 . drwxr-x--- 6 root named 4096 2007-07-26 10:11 .. drwxr-x--- 5 root named 4096 2007-07-26 10:11 named drwxr-x--- 4 root named 4096 2003-03-13 16:22 run drwxrwx--- 2 named named 4096 2003-03-13 16:22 tmp
Have you checked /var/log/messages for error messages?
