named.conf should be in the jail's /etc (/var/named/chroot/etc/), not
in the real /etc. The latter is a symlink into the jail. I suspect
that a program running in a jail can't follow symlinks to outside of
it.

[root@charlesc ~]# ll /etc/named.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root named 32 Apr 23 07:15 /etc/named.conf -> /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf

You may want the following packages:

bind-9.3.2-20.FC5
bind-chroot-9.3.2-20.FC5 <====== n.b.!
bind-config-9.3.2-20.FC5
bind-libs-9.3.2-20.FC5
bind-utils-9.3.2-20.FC5

I highly recommend Liu & Albitz, DNS & Bind, 5th ed, O'Reilly, May,
2006. It is more than worth it in time and frustration saved. It also
happens to cover bind 9.3.
