Re: 10.2.8/4.6.1 to 10.3.x Server upgrade

Upgrading from 10.2.x to 10.3.x replaces /etc/named.conf. This will
cause systemic problems for QuickDNS Remote.

Reinstalling QuickDNS at this point can cause further problems
without necessarily fixing anything.

To fix this, read this knowledge base article:
<http://kbase.menandmice.com/view.html?rec=38>

To avoid this in the future, always back up /etc/named.conf before
any major Mac OS X upgrade (10.1 to 10.2, 10.2 to 10.3, etc.) and
restore it afterward. Then restart.
