This typically mean that your zone is missing NS or glue records. Did you do 
some changes in the zone at time when the message appeared?

Do you see any errors related to connection between LDAP server and named? 
Look carefully to /var/log/messages for any other messages from named.

This is really weird. Could you capture stacks at the time when the problem 
manifests?

You can use following commands:
$ yum install gdb
$ debuginfo-install bind bind-dyndb-ldap
$ gdb -ex 'set confirm off' -ex 'set pagination off' -ex 'thread apply all bt 
full' -ex 'quit' `which named` `pgrep named` > stacktrace.`date +%s`.log 2>&1

Please send the stracktrace file to this list of privately to me and I will 
look into it.

Have a nice day!
