When you upgrade from 8.2 to 8.2.1 then your DNS will be
disabled wich is NOT the way I think.
It should leave the old settings intact and only disable or
better said not-enable when first installing this package.
It took me a serious search why some programs didn't work
anymore because the DNS wasn't started...

PS:
I get a strange msg when querying the status:
-=-=-=-=-=-
/etc/rc.d/init.d/named status
named 8.2.1 Tue Oct 12 21:49:04 EDT 1999

xfers running: 0

query logging is ON
server is DONE priming
server IS NOT loading its configuration
-=-=-=-=-=-
It's this last msg about NOT loading its configuration, what
does that mean and what should I do to correct it?
The process is starting ok now that I've enabled it with
"chkconfig"...
