What is the current version of BIND installed on your server? Did you try to upgrade or re-install BIND by any chance? This error means named daemon detected an error in internal consistency check. Also, look into '/etc/named.conf' file and check the syntax.
 
named is working now

i removed bind* form yum.conf and i used this command: yum update bind\*
now everything is working fine :)

also i report this problem to centos core team, and they said this bug is from Direct Admin not centos.

If it's a bug how come you're the only user who's reported it?

I don't think it's a bug.

How was BIND originally installed on your server? In our case BIND is originally installed by yum, and it's always worked. How did you install BIND?

You are not alone.

I also met this error. Cleaning centos, first time installation of DriectAdmin, then, error appers.

I think it is a bug
