Our named broke too, we run named chroot. named.conf ended up replaced 
with a much shorter version. Renaming named.conf.rpmsave to named.conf and 
restarting bind fixed the problem. This happened at U3 too I believe.

I am not very happy that these updates arrived so close to Xmas, our site 
is small and many key people are away on holidays. From my point of view 
it would have been better to release the updates first week in January.
