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.

                            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.

                            John Gilmore made a Secure DNS information

                            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.
