Chroot was not set up right.

No named.conf. A named.conf in /etc though.

I ran the config-bind redhat program, and it created a named.conf, but 
still no sym link from the chroot/etc/named.conf to the /etc/named.conf.

Also the various defaults are each in a different config file, and that 
was not the case in whatever ver of Centos 4 that I first did the build.

So I had a long careful look at what they had, and what I had running 
and fixed the sym links and put it all together. I still realize that I 
better check it over carefully; make sure that non-recursion is working 
and so on.
