You really don't have to worry about the jail script, it's all setup and
ready to go.

Just create the config file:  /etc/named.conf

And put your zones in  /etc/named/ 
(and make sure that directory is set in /etc/named.conf)

It copies everything over to a jail directory and starts named.

The only weird thing is when you modify any zone file, you can't just
SIGHUP the server, you have to restart it fully, since the config files
are now in two different places.  "/etc/init.d/named restart"

Of if you don't run to use a chroot jail, simply turn it off in setup
(or by editing /etc/sysconfig/config)

Crap, meant to say "START_", not "CONFIG_".  Look for that instead.
