</color>- 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.

not allowed to edit any record in a slave zone.
