give up on that dns gui stuff,
just start editing the files by hand, it's easier, and it's
faster.
do "su -"
password
open the /etc/named/pri.thedomain.tld file and add the
record.
increment the serial number.
save the file
then do "ndc reload thedomain.tld"
It's a good idea to immediately do a
"tail -f /var/log/messages"
and watch the action
should reload the zone with no errors.
should send notiyy to the slave
slave should ask for axfr
and master should transfer the zone.
