I am not sure if my problem is more related to the box being so old and slow with a minimum of RAM, I thought I would scale the box back to either FC5 or give Ubuntu server a try I suspect that both have a lighter load on the box.
I don't recall you mentioning your specs, but I found BIND to have minimal demands on my system. Certainly, things like X and applications that use it, demand more.
where would I find the pertinent log files any I could find did not have an entry that was related to the problem.
/var/log/messages usually has messages in it related to trying to start up things like BIND. You could grep the output to a file, and send that to the list (you need to be root to read the messages log).
e.g. grep named /var/log/messages > /tmp/named.txt
