Re: Installing Bind 9.3.0

Ok, so I did a mv /usr/sbin/named /usr/sbin/named.9.2.3 and then mv
bin/named/named /usr/sbin/named and then made sure the privileges were
correct.
I then did /Library/StartupItems/QuickDNS/named restart
Now the local domains will not resolve.
I changed the named back to the 9.2.3 version and did a restart and
local domains resolve.
What else needs to be done so that version 9.3 will resolve local
domains?
