BIND issues with rndc

[James Marcinek]

I did this and also tried this and it didn't (it was actually already
there). I removed the redhat-config-bind package as I was not using it and
it complicated things (by needing me to use the named.custom file). I have
since removed it. I've hacked my zone files now so I'll be rebuiding them
this weekend. I'll give it another try...
