no servers could be reached

[Lightner, Jeff]

Using /var/named/chroot/... means you should have bind-chroot package installed.

Also you need to be sure all references within named.conf are relative to the chroot directory rather than absolute real paths and be sure the files are in those relative paths.   That is to say it is proper to reference files as being in "/etc" or "/var/named" but the actual files referenced must exist in "/var/named/chroot/etc" or "/var/named/chroot/var/named".

Examples from your config:

/var/named/data/named_stats.txt as refrenced below should actually exist as /var/named/chroot/var/named/data/named_stats.txt.

/etc/named.rfc1912.zones as referenced below should actually exist as /var/named/chroot/etc.

So this should be OK then.

Your view statements in this example say that 'localhost' will use the
'localhost_resolver' and everything else will use the 'viewx' view - but
you don't have the 'domainx.zone' in your 'localhost_resolver' view.

Try adding 'include "domainx.zones";' to the 'localhost_resolver' view...
