I think I'm running named 8.2.3. Yes, named -v reports:

No, but the GUI still builds the file. I've looked at the script at
/usr/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt/dns/index.cgi, and it definitely builds
named.boot even though named 8.2 doesn't need it. I could probably rem
out the lines that build that file and clean that one out. 

That doesn't solve the problem with /etc/named.conf, though.

I agree completely. Unfortunately, the GUI on my RaQ doesn't behave that
way.

What has to be in the /etc/named/records file for that second NS record
to be generated by the GUI script? Do you have a /etc/named/records file
that actually works and generates a correct reverse zone file and
named.conf? Can you post it or e-mail it directly to me?
