i cross-checked the rndc.key file against the configuration of /etc/named.conf 
and everything seems ok.

starting named gives OK. Polling afterwards to see status, or to stop it, or 
just doing rndc reload gives "rndc: connect failed: connection refused". 
netstat -an does not show show me named, or rndc. Ports 53 and 953 are also 
not open.

i think it is a heartbeat issue as it exactly the same problem on both 
servers, yet they were working perfectly both before heartbeat, then with 
heartbeat for a few days.

I know a re-install of bind might solve the problem but i need to know what 
caused it too :)

cheers
