Re: QuickDNS Pro crashing (still crashing)

We had this same exact problem. I spent the night with the servers rebooting
with every crash. I tried it on 2 different machines. Nothing worked. It
finally went away after about 24 hours. I believe it was a zone transfer was
happening but with even the debug log I wasn't sure. Everything just started
working again. So just give it a little more time. I know that is the pits
but it worked for us.
