Domain names not resolving

I am running BIND on a newly installed Fedora core 6 server.  I'm not sure of the version of Bind but looking at the config files it accepts it's probably 4 something.

named loads and seems to run fine, it even says 39 zones:
 /etc/init.d/named status
number of zones: 39
debug level: 0
xfers running: 0
xfers deferred: 0
soa queries in progress: 0
query logging is OFF
recursive clients: 0/1000
tcp clients: 0/100
server is up and running

Here's the process:
 ps -ef|grep named
named     2428     1  0 02:38 ?        00:00:00 /usr/sbin/named -u named -c /etc/named.caching-nameserver.conf -t /var/named/chroot
