Hmmm, have you used 'lsof' or 'strace' to see what the process is doing?
First get the process ID of the named process (pgrep named), you'll
need this for the other two. 'lsof -p {process ID}' will show you all
of the file handles the process has open, including any shared libraries
and network connections.
'strace -p {process ID}' will allow you to watch the system calls the
process is executing as it is running. If it's just sitting there, it
might be tough to figure out, but if you watch it and see that it is
looping on some call that might give you a hint.
You can also start browsing through the /proc filesystem for information
about that process, start by getting a directory listing of
'/proc/{process ID}/'.
Just a thought!
