Ok guys ... this is ONLY an issue IF you have caching-nameserver AND
bind installed ... and if you used the named.conf from caching-
nameserver.
RH says to NOT install caching-nameserver and a real name server on the
same machine ...
When caching-nameserver is upgraded, it changes your named.conf file ...
to make it, guess what, a caching nameserver. (A caching name server is
one that resolves all domains ... but is not the master or secondary for
any zones).
This is the exactly expected and designed behavior ... so, NEVER, EVER,
EVER install caching-nameserver on a DNS server that your are using for
real domain control.
