Zone syntax problem.

[Charles Bodley]

Donka, works much better now. There are no security holes in BIND 9.1.2 are
there? It's running quite stable and does averything we need it to so unless
there is a security hole I didn't plan on upgrading any time soon.

	The first thing you have to do is to call named-checkzone
	correctly.  The zone is not "db.tf-pdc.internal.tflogic.com"
	and the errors are a result of telling named-checkzone the
	wrong name for the zone.

	Use:
	   named-checkzone tf-pdc.internal.tflogic.com \
			   db.tf-pdc.internal.tflogic.com

	Both arguements are manditory in BIND 9.2 as too many people
	were calling named-checkzone incorrectly.  Computers do what you
	tell them to do, not (necessarially) what you want them to do :-)

	I would also upgrade to 9.2.
