DNS issues - Need a DNS / WHM guru

Help,

I really can't get my head round this problem.

named appears to be running OK

I have 5 named processes running ...

named 6132 1 0 03:36 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/named -u named -t /var/named/chroot

WHM and my domain registrar all agree on the name server IP's

WHM will let me create & update DNS Zones, but a name lookup fails.

WHM however creates it's zone files in /var/named which don't get read by the named process.

I can however create working DNS zones via Webmin as this defaults to /var/named/chroot and this does actually return the correct lookups. Direct changes to the (chroot) zone files also work OK

Question:-

How can I make changes to WHM and / or named so that I can manage the DNS via WHM ? I know I can simply tweak config files here and there, but am concerned I'll break something.

I also get a rndc error when doing a "service named restart", I've tried the /scripts/fixndc, but I guess this is also referring to the /var/named config files.

The OS is Fedora
