	Use fully-qualified addresses.  You actually added
	"bodley.info.bodley.info 1800 A 24.29.6.102".  The
	names are treated as relative once you specify a zone.

	server 127.0.0.1
	zone bodley.info.
	update delete bodley.info. A
	update add bodley.info. 1800 A 24.29.6.102
	send

	Note: we are thinking about removing support for relative
	names.
