If necessary, though, you can do it as follows (do > everything as root, or set the ownership of the files you create to > root) (I'm assuming QuickDNS 4.6.1 on Mac OS X 10.3): Basically, While I want to use QDNS for ease of use, I also don't want to limit my abilities to manage other machines that may be just running BIND with no front end to config it, so I would be left with ssh access and some text editor. Just out of curiosity, can one set up a QDNS server, uninstall QDNS and have bind just pick up all alone with no QDNS at all? > The zone casarta.com on the master server has an error.

This is just a slave zone, I guess there is something wrong on the remote master server?
