Hi Paul,

I don't know if this is going to be of help to you but if you are going to 
start messing with DNS you might want to consider these two applications 
Nslint, Zone-file-ch they check your DNS config records for errors.  I 
have only really read the documentation on them so far I don't have to 
start messing with DNS records until later in the week myself, God help 
our network ;-).  BTW they are both .debs but i would imagine that they 
should be available as rpms or source

Peace Jim
