Excellent post, Brent. One thing I'll add, you can edit the 'zone' files by
doing a global search and replace in the file /etc/named/records. Change all
the appropriate IP's in this file, then use the admin GUI to access the DNS
parameters. Save changes. You'll notice as soon as you enter the DNS
parameters section of the control panel your RaQ will parse the new file and
create all new zone files. This turns a multiple hour chore into a 5 minute
task.

Good luck.
