Just to test a little more, I saved off my config in a tar with:

var/named/etc/namedb
var/named/etc/namedb/master
var/named/etc/namedb/master/internal.rev
var/named/etc/namedb/master/localhost-v6.rev
var/named/etc/namedb/master/localhost.rev
var/named/etc/namedb/master/vmware.rev
var/named/etc/namedb/master/mcneil.com
var/named/etc/namedb/master/metricmass.com
var/named/etc/namedb/master/metricmass.org
var/named/etc/namedb/slave
var/named/etc/namedb/PROTO.localhost.rev
var/named/etc/namedb/PROTO.localhost-v6.rev
var/named/etc/namedb/named.conf
var/named/etc/namedb/named.root
var/named/etc/namedb/make-localhost
var/named/etc/namedb/rndc.key

Then I tried mergemaster and it deleted my stuff.  I thought it might be
the /etc/namedb symlink, but deleting that made no difference.

Cheers,
Sean
