Take a look at   /etc/rc.d/init.d/named:
...
start() {
        # Start daemons.
    if [ -n "`/sbin/pidof named`" ]; then
        echo -n $"$prog: already running"
        return 1
    fi
        echo -n $"Starting $prog: "
    if [ -n "${ROOTDIR}" -a "x${ROOTDIR}" != "x/" ]; then
        OPTIONS="${OPTIONS} -t ${ROOTDIR}"
    fi
    daemon /usr/sbin/named -u named ${OPTIONS}
...
Is named chrooted?
Look at /etc/sysconfig/named.
