I just had a customer's bind server lose all of it's local DNS records.
Yum updated the bind packages this morning at ~6am, and replaced the

seems like the opposite of what it should have done (i.e. save the new
file as named.conf.rpmnew).
If you have the caching-nameserver package, it's the expected behaviour:
/etc/named.conf is "owned" and labelled as "config file" for caching-nameserver.
The regular bind/bind-chroot don't provide named.conf.
You should not install the caching-nameserver package if you are
indeed providing DNS services with bind...
Thanks! I wasn't aware of this package, and it was indeed at fault.
Seems like the package should be named bind-caching-nameserver...
