Thanks for getting back to me...

I guess I was a little panicy when I entered my note, I didn't explain much about what I'd already done. There was no named running, 'ps ax | grep named' showed only my grep and syslog.

'rndc' simply returns a "connection refused" error, I assume this is a poor excuse for an error mesage that really indicates that there is no named running to talk to.

I believe the 'in use' message is an artifact of the first failure as there is definately no named running.

I've just tried named-checkconf (I didn't know about that one -- thank you!) it says nothing, returns zero.

Didn't help -- but thanks for trying!

This error generally means that the old named is still running. Try
'rndc stop', and then do 'ps -ax | grep named'. If you still see
something running do '/etc/rc.d/named stop' check ps again, then when
you're sure no other named is running do '/etc/rc.d/named start'

I believe I did an accurate merge of my named.conf file.

run named-checkconf to be sure that's not your problem.


hope this helps,

Doug
