I've been getting notices that named has been down for the past 24 hours. I try to restart and reload it and I get a FAILED message.

Please help! Several sites are down!
 
figured out the problem.

It didn't recognize an entry in my named.conf to allow transfers. It's really weird as I haven't made any updates to my server in almost 3 months :confused:
 
This was the message I was getting.

/etc/named.conf:21: unknown option 'allow-transfer'

Error in named configuration:
/etc/named.conf:21: unknown option 'allow-transfer'
/etc/named.conf:26: unknown option 'allow-transfer'

Is allow-transfer not allowed?

You need to comment or delete these two directives and your named should work.

That's what I did. It's working now. I still don't know why it stopped working all of a sudden.
