The zone files can go anywhere under /var/named/chroot/var/named, unless 
you want to do dynamic updates, in which case they should be in 
/var/named/chroot/var/named/data or /var/named/chroot/var/named/slaves. 
Using the latter would probably cause confusion though.

The chroot will be used if you have:

ROOTDIR=/var/named/chroot

in /etc/sysconfig/named
