what about post the systemd-unit and besides that i find it unlikely
that "journalctl" don't show any errors directly after try to restart
(and yes you do "systemctl daemon-reload" and "systemctl restart named"
in doubt)

"systemctl daemon-reload" alone triggers in most cases messages when
unitfiles are broken

----------------------------------

similar issue with "Bad message" because nonsense in the unit-file

Change that first line! Comment lines must begin with either # or ;

That was the issue indeed ! Since I copy-pasted that from the Internet,
I thought it was legit ... And then I don't really understand why the
start command was working.
