[Cialug] Bind...

[Tony Bibbs]

Just a follow-up in case anybody finds it helpful...during my last 
emerge of bind under Gentoo to patch a security hole in Bind, apparently 
the old bind process didn't die when I did a restart so I somehow had 
two bind instances running.  The old one kept sending the old serials 
with the old settings for one of my domains.  It was frustrating as hell 
to figure out but a quick fix once I had the "ah-ha" moment.
