Inside of the options section.

Similar to this:

options {
        directory "/var/named";
        //query-source address * port 53;
        forwarders { 192.168.10.10; 192.168.100.10; };
        version "Go Away!";

        .....
};

This should be of big concern.  To me this says that there is response
time issues, or total lack of a response, from your upstream name
servers.
