[Gllug] Bind9 on Debian Sarge

[Chris Bell]

Hello,
   I have a local Bind9 DNS server on a Debian Sarge box which has been
running without problens for some time.
   I have just tried to add another box to my network, and modify the
/etc/bind/ databases to suit. Running "named-checkzone" now shows that all
my previously OK database files are showing syntax errors on line 1 near
'; ' where in every case, including the automatically generated db.0 and
db.255 files, the first few lines carry a summary of the file as comments.
   I tried putting a # at the beginning of each line instead, and found that
the first few lines of the real database then generated multiple "errors" so
reverted to what I had before.
   Running "rndc reload" still seems to work, and the new box can be found.
I have not seen any warnings about the precise positions of header lines or
restrictions on commented-out lines.
