Thank you Stuart for your reply.
When I run named-checkconf seeing as below and also status shows always
failed.
I have looked into the below zones and not seen any issue with those.

Subject: Unable to start name
Hi
We are using bind 9.11.28.1 on centos7.8. We have large number of zones
on disk. When we stop/start , we are not getting successful message and
seeing below error. But in log we see named is running and doing
axfr/ixfr. Do we need to add any configuration paameter to avoid below
error.
Starting named (via systemctl): Job for named.service failed because a
timeout was exceeded. See "systemctl status named.service" and "journalctl
-xe" for details
You mentioned that you have a large number of zones. If there are no error
messages generated by NAMED starting other than the exceeding of a timeout,
it could just be the system service-start timing out.
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.service.html#TimeoutSec=
You may also want to try "named-checkconf -z /etc/named.conf" and see how long
it takes (as this does a similar sort of validation as starting the service does).
