My bad.  Did not really explain that well at all.

I do "rndc dumpdb" and it returns instantly.  According to "rndc --help" its
supposed to dump this to "named_dump.db".  So after the "rndc dumpdb" I do
"locate -u" then "locate named_dump.db" and it finds no such file.  I try
this same procedure on my linux email server running bind/named and it
outputs the dump file where its supposed to be with about a ~meg of data in
it.

So I think somehow it much not be caching.  The DNS lookup part does work
though so I assume its just not caching.
