and were leaving Webstar on the original box (not necessarily a bad idea,
BTW, if you can...some people on the Webstar list have complained that QDNS

Yes, you have to change all the records where there's an IP pointing to the
old server, generally speaking these will be "A" records in your regular
domains and "PTR" records in you reverse domain.
