Thanks everyone.  It started working about 5 minutes after I posted to
the group.  I guess it was the caching problem mentioned.

I was re-entering data because I was trying to get some clean
configuration files.    Such as using the $TTL.  And I didn't want to
risk my original files in case something didn't work.

Was planning that originally - but the system we're on already had a
Bind 8 binary.  My first attempt and compiling and testing Bind 9 didn't
work, so I thought using the Bind 8 as an intermediate step would at
least get me off of Bind 4.
