When you modified the named.conf, you removed a number of settings, these settings were needed so that the named service knew where to look for the running pid file. The /etc/rc.d/named start was not writing to the correct location, but was starting named.

I have added the following back to the named.conf

options {
// Relative to the chroot directory, if any
directory "/etc/namedb";
pid-file "/var/run/named/pid";
dump-file "/var/dump/named_dump.db";
statistics-file "/var/stats/named.stats";
listen-on { 67.21.73.130; 67.21.73.131; };
// listen-on-v6 { ::1; };
disable-empty-zone "255.255.255.255.IN-ADDR.ARPA";
disable-empty-zone "0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.ARPA";
disable-empty-zone "1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.IP6.ARPA";
// forward only;
/* forwarders {
127.0.0.1;
};
*/
};


After killing everything for bind, I get the following.

[root@matrix { /etc/namedb }] ps aux | grep named
