Copying /var/named files from Fedora 7 to Fedora 11 does not configure bind

[charlweed]

host A: Fedora 7 has bind 9.4.2
host B: Fedora 11 has bind 9.6.1
I want to migrate my bind configuration from A to B

I've read the release notes and man pages and I can't see why copying
/etc/named*
and
/var/named/*
I checked /etc/sysconfig/named too...

Seems to have no effect on my brand new install on Fedora 11. Host B stays basically un-configured.

Ok, so I's something simple and obvious but I can't see it. What am I missing?

Is there a better/simpler way to migrate a named server from A to B?

Well you are using 2 different version of Bind. Are you sure nothing has changed between versions?

Paste the output from the following:

named-checkconf

See if they give you any errors
