I realize that this one should be dumped in the questions, but since
current is so recent
others will probably look here for the answer. To the install team,
could you add a note
on upgrades that the format has changed on the named boot file? There
are still alot of
sites that don't update often.

OUR GOODIES:
The latest release intended for vendors or
advanced users.
The latest kit intended for semipublic
testing.
what's this? >> BIND 8.1.2 Documentation.
A fairly recent BOG (BIND Operations Guide),
available in both
PostScript or Lineprinter formats. Thanks to
Graeme Cox there is also a
somewhat recent HTML version available.
We sign some of our software distributions
using PGP.
A discussion of BIND and load balancing.
John Gilmore made a Secure DNS information
and software download
site.
Click there, click on 8.1.2 Configuration File Guide.
You'll notice that Vix has completely rearranged the syntax. This is
what's
causing your BIND error message and the failure to start. Simply convert
over
to the new format and you'll be back in biz. There's an easily editable
exmample too.
