Doh.
Just realised that the controls line goes in named.conf.
Thanks Paul!

Given the damage I could have inflicted on the configuration with my own tinkering, I decided to wipe everything and do a clean install of Red Hat 7.1 which went fine after a brief but successful row with wu-ftpd, which has also changed.
Tried named-checkzone on the localhost zone that Bind 9.1.0 installed (/var/named/localhost.zone), it spat out the same errors that it gave for my zone files: "out-of-zone data error" for the localhost line, "could not find NS and/or SOA records", "has 0 SOA records" and "no NS records" despite the presence of both in localhost.zone.
I'll upgrade to 9.1.3 and hopefully that resolves it.

Hmm, the default setup did not have a controls line, presumably that's why it got the "connection refused" error. Apart from the "key" section, it had:
options {
default-server localhost;
default-key "key";
};
server localhost {
key "key";
};
I'll try using your "controls" line tonight (ran out of time).
Thank you very much for your reply.
