In particular under /var/named/chroot/etc I use to put my named.conf with all the include files. Now I see sub-directories named and pki there. I am ASSuMEing that pki will be for the DNSSEC; but where is the documentation? I tried looking for readme files, but can't find anything related to the chrooted bind environment. What file is the location of named.conf set up in?

That bit me too, early in the transition.

The short story: the main BIND configuration file in CentOS 6 is /etc/named.conf.

The long story: There's some funky bind mounts (where "bind" != "BIND", adding to the confusion). Run "mount | grep named" to get the overall sense of it, but in particular, you'll see

[root]# mount | grep named.conf
/etc/named.conf on /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf type none (rw,bind)

It ends up functioning like a hard link:

[root]# ls -1i /etc/named.conf /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf
3538955 /etc/named.conf
3538955 /var/named/chroot/etc/named.conf

All the bind mounts are managed via /etc/init.d/named; see the mount_chroot_conf() function for the action.
