Already there in /policy/modules/kernel/devices.fc

/var/named/chroot/dev/random -c
gen_context(system_u:object_r:random_device_t,s0)
/var/named/chroot/dev/zero -c
gen_context(system_u:object_r:zero_device_t,s0)

Along with:

/var/named/chroot/dev	-d	gen_context(system_u:object_r:device_t,s0)
/var/named/chroot/dev/null -c
gen_context(system_u:object_r:null_device_t,s0)
