This is the error I get when I try 'service named start':

[root@p16-elrond ~]# service named start
Starting named:

Has anyone else run into this snag?

Sorry, should have posted the contents of my /var/named/db.rivendell. Here it is:

$TTL 604800

Sorted it out. Just a matter of fixing punctuation errors. Here is my new /var/named/db.rivendell:

[root@p16-elrond ~]# cat /var/named/db.rivendell

; Rivendell Zone Definition
