Hi Jamie,
In order to be able to post DIND zone file for the new clone, I have repeated the whole process. So I cloned the default virtual server, let’s call it mydomain.com. The result is as follows:

Now, if I go to System Information and click on Start Bind button, I get:
Error
Failed to start service : Failed to start BIND : Starting named: Error in named configuration: zone localhost.localdomain/IN: loaded serial 0 zone localhost/IN: loaded serial 0 zone 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa/IN: loaded serial 0 zone 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 0 zone 0.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 0 zone mydomain.com/IN: mydomain.com/MX 'mail.mydomain.com' has no address records (A or AAAA) zone mydomain.com/IN: loaded serial 1348072732 zone clone.mydomain.com/IN: has no NS records zone clone.mydomain.com/IN: not loaded due to errors. _default/clone.mydomain.com/IN: bad zone [FAILED]
Now if I go to /var/named and use ‘cat clone.mydomain.com.hosts’ I see:
root@orion:/var/named#
cat clone.mydomain.com.hosts
$ttl 38400
@ IN SOA old.host.com. root.old.host.com. (
1348072733
10800
3600
604800
38400 )
which is strange, since the hostname for the system had been changed from ‘old.host.com’ to ‘orion.mydomain.com’ quite long time ago, which is confirmed by running:
root@orion:/var/named#
hostname
orion.mydomain.com
I am afraid that somewhere else ‘old.host.com’ needs to be found and be replaced. Moreover, clone.nanawall.com.hosts doesn’t contain any DNS-records.
