I am running a directadmin server on redhat and the server has been working fine for about 15 days. Then it started getting alot of problems. This morning when i checked it the site didnt work from the domain but it worked going through the IP address. Then i tried restarting named but it wouldnt stop or start or reload. I used shutdown -r now on the server twice but the server's bind still wouldnt work. The server was down for 8 hours and when i came back home i tried restarting the server again and then it finally worked. After about 5 hours the DNS went down again and this time the server wouldnt restart using shutdown -r now and bind wouldnt restart . After a while i tried using "reboot" and it finally worked. BIND is giving me alot of trouble and causing alot of down time. Is there any updates or fixes for it or anything im currently expierencing.

Btw the site is narutochaos.com @ IP 69.30.195.3

Heres some logs

Hello,

It seems as through it's running right now. What you might want to try is to restart it and reload it from the command line to see if it's generating any errors
Code: 
service named reload
service named restart
If anything comes from that, you might want to use a different boot script (the one that comes with named doesn't work for some machines.
Code: 
wget -O /etc/init.d/named [url]http://www.directadmin.com/named[/url]
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/named
chkconfig named reset
Then try to restart/reload again.
