I found this script and made some minor mods to it...it seems to be working ok (note also that the bind install doesn't setup a pid file/directory in /var/run, so you need to do that also):
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
# named This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
# named (BIND DNS server).
#
# chkconfig: 345 55 45
# description: named (BIND) is a Domain Name Server (DNS) \
# that is used to resolve host names to IP addresses.

[ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ] && exit 0

case "$1" in

echo -n "Starting named: "

exit $?

exit $?

reload)
/usr/local/sbin/rndc reload
exit $?
;;
probe)

exit 0
