Mark was instrumental in getting me up and running (i.e., massive kudos to 
Mark). I was very interested in the split DNS stuff and wanted to start 
experimenting with views and such. I needed to bring up a new set of DNS 
servers for experimentation, and decided to make the move to 9.0.1 to begin 
to get a feel for it.

It was painful, but this group, as always, provided the salve to sooth the 
wounds.

The web page stuff in the distribution (arm directory, I believe) was very 
helpful in a lot of ways and got me close. As with everything, the devil is 
in the details, and for a product this "new", I don't really expect all the 
documentation to cover every little thing.

The only problems that remain are in the two DNS servers communicating with 
one another, and I figure the major problem is that I have several 
firewalls between the two, and packets aren't flowing like they should. 
But, named is running w/o errors, and I have it bound to non-standard ports 
for listening on multiple interfaces. So, color me a happy camper.

Again, thanks to the group at large and specific thanks to Mark for the 
aid. Hopefully, I can return the favor to another migrator some day.
