Right.
But the named.conf file you pasted into an earlier email had no 
"options" to specify /var/named as a base directory.  Consequently the 
"file" settings for zone files without any path cause bind to look for 
them in /var/named/chroot/ which is not where they are, and you get 
"file not found" errors.

I think from your reply that you added an "options" entry in 
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.custom, but we have not confirmed that 
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf is including that file.

Please attach /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf and 
/var/named/chroot/etc/named.custom to a reply.
