Not really sure, It appears that all the DNS records are generated in
/etc/named on the fly by some script.
The zone files are all db.domain.tld.
When you make changes it puts the data in a db.domain.tld~ file,
then when you save dns changes it writes the cahnges to the db.domain.tld
file.
It also uses 'include' files for custom additions.

Personally I don't use the GUI, I did once, but its a 'killer'
So I just edit the db.domain.tld files as needed and then execute
rndc reload. For new additions I copy one file to another and edit it,
of course adding the new addition to /etc/named.conf
If you do it without the GUI, make sure "auto DNS is off"

and the 550 uses bind 9.xx versus 8.x.x on the other RaQs
