Yes to updating Serial No.   I've rebooted, and now I've tried <rndc 
reload>, which simply gives me back a # prompt, so I think it worked.   
If I try <rndc -s ns1.microanswers.net reload> it pukes with <Connect 
Failed: connection refused> so I don't know for certain that I have the 
syntax correct.

I was hoping to make the <view "internal" and view "external"> option 
work again out of the named.conf file, because that was slick.   

I'll do some more research but I may just implement option two, since I 
have only a few sites.   Or maybe I could offer to buy your office some 
Godfather's Pizza if you'll slip by and fix it?
