- Turn off the old server.

- Add the IP address to the new server.

- Execute this command:

sudo /Library/StartupItems/QuickDNS/named restart

- Connect to QuickDNS Central. Go to the Administration menu and
remove this name server, then re-add it using the correct IP address.

Yes, it's a good idea to leave these alone.

It signifies that each record is read-only. This is because you're
not allowed to edit any record in a slave zone.
