	I get a error when I try it.

May 19 00:59:22 bsdi named[11637]: /etc/named.conf:10497: syntax error near 'allow-update(192.168.1.23)'

Line 10497
zone "9999example" { type master; file "primary/example.db"; allow-update(192.168.1.23); };

	Are you 100% sure that you reloaded / reconfigured / restarted the
	server the first time?
