Someone else answered your original query saying you should try copying over the "/etc/named/records" file. And then go to the RaQ's interface for DNS and save a configuration.
Have you tried that?Afterwards, if it does create DNS zone files (they'll be in /etc/named/pri* and /etc/named/sec*), you need to check those files and see if the top line is something like "$TTL xxxxxx" where the "x" characters represent a number.
If all the domains are listed, and they're there, then you're all set. If they're not all there, you have to do this manually; if they are all there but don't have the "$TTL" line as the first line, you'll have to change all the files manually, to add the line; the numeric value should be the same as your "TTL" time.
I hope this helps. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman <jblists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
