(Sorry for the duplicate email, Martin.  I hit reply instead of reply all)

I just set up 9 XS 0.6 boxes and noticed editing named-xs.conf.in was really
touchy.  What I ended up doing post-install:

First thing after first bootup - followed the OpenDNS instructions on the
wiki.  But I didn't bother to restart named since I'm about to reboot.

(Then I did some other things - set up the static IP for eth0, edited
sshd_config.in and sshd_config for the port and to allow passwords, edited
iptables for my new ssh port, added a user, then edited /etc/group for
newuser and root in the mail group.)

Last, the domain_config thing.  Then reboot.

I learned to be really, really careful when editing named-xs.conf.in because
if I made a typo and then tried to fix it later, I could never get named to
start.  Ended up just starting over when that happened.

Anyway, things seem to be working all right with OpenDNS filtering.  In my
case anyway.
