Hmmmm,

[mail:/var/named/conf] root# cat options
//
// This file was generated by QuickDNS from Men & Mice
// WARNING: ** DO NOT EDIT **
//
options {
directory "/var/named";
pid-file "/var/run/named.pid";
statistics-file "named.stats";
datasize 20M;
allow-recursion { any; };
allow-transfer { localhost; localnets; 64.174.159.37;
208.197.42.0/23; 10.1.1.0/24; };
};


It says not to edit...should I disregard that?

QDNS Manager get-info says BIND 9 is what's being used on the boxes.

Also named -v run locally (as either user or root) on one of the
boxes yields "9.2.3rc4". However, if I ssh into the same box and run
named-v I get: named 8.3.4-REL Tue Jan 21 14:09:08 GMT 2003

sigfusm@wiggum.menandmice.is:/Users/sigfusm/dev/bind/8.3.4/src/bin/named

Any ideas on why this would be happening?
