[ale] named and DNS HOWTO

[David S. Jackson]

I'm just beginning to configure named according to the DNS HOWTO.  I
just created a dsj.net zone file, but when I restart named I get the
following error:

****SNIP****

Note, I'm using diald, so my eth0 isn't always up.  Here's myu dsj.net
zone file:

****SNIP********

Any help as to what is causing my error would be much appreciated!

TIA!
