Hello,

thanks for your answer, but I have only one BIND installed,
(/usr/sbin/named) and only one config file (/etc/named.conf
which is linked to /usr/etc/named.conf)
after looking for named:

# find / -name named -print

I've got :
/etc/rc.d/named (shell startup script)
/usr/sbin/named (ELF 32-bit LSB executable)


So, at boot time "/etc/rc.d/named start" is started 

and then I started manually "/etc/rc.d/named start"
There I see no difference. Really, it's strange.
