Suddenly deaf?

Yes, it's responding fine now.

When you installed the new version, did you install the Bind name
server? QuickDNS 4.5.1 comes with Bind 8.3.6, as I recall, but Mac OS
X 10.3 comes with Bind 9.2.2. Of course, if you installed the version
that came with QuickDNS 3.5.1, which was something like Bind 8.2.4,
that right there might have been the problem - Bind 8.2.4 has a
number of security holes, including problems where an attacker can
cause it to crash.
