When running the fail2ban-regex
fail2ban-regex /var/log/named/security1.log /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/named-refused.conf
I get following output

Sorry, no match
Here is some output of the security1.log file

the failregex is the following
failregex = %(__line_prefix)sclient <HOST>#\S+: (view (internal|external): )?query(?: \(cache\))? '.*' denied\s*$
I think there is a difference between the output of my security1.log and the failregex syntax of the named-refused.conf file which makes it not find anything.
Thanks in advance,

I ran your log through my Debian 8.2 fail2ban in the same way you described and got.

So if your interested, the /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/named-refused.conf file in my distro is:

Note the authors comment about the "really ugly catch of the microseconds not captured in the date detector" You could try it (after a sanity check against your own version of course) and see if it works. By the way, what is your distro ?
