In one terminal window, issue the command:
tail -f /var/log/system.log


In another terminal window, issue the command:
sudo ndc restart
(and enter your admin password when prompted)


Back in the first window, you should see a bunch of lines get printed. This will
be the log of BIND attempting to restart itself. You should be able to figure
out any errors from that log information. If you still can't work it out,
copy-and-paste that log output to this list and someone should be able to help
you figure out where the problem is.

It would also be helpful to post the contents of your /etc/named.conf file.

Cheers
James
