Err... Starting to get suspicious...

Very suspicious. Doesn't 3.1 come with BIND 8.*mumble-mumble* which
uses a 'named.conf' by default, whereas the 'named.boot' file is
associated with the older version of BIND. This looks like the old
'boot' file format instead of the 'conf' format you would want.

What messages does named leave in your /var/log/messages when it
starts up?
