Jim,

My guess is is it would be a lot easier to write a simple shell script
(probably a one-liner <smile>) to find lines containing "domain.com" in
/etc/named/records and delete them.

Then go to DNS section of the gui, and click on "save changes".

That'll do it for every RaQ except the XTR; I don't know about the XTR.
