Turns out this was caused by the 

    cache    .			named.root

line in named.boot. named was trying to connect to one of the root
nameservers reasonably soon after starting.

I took that line out, and added the line

    options forward-only

This, coupled with the already in place "forwarders" line fixed the 
problem.
