WOW! No politics! I think I'll respond to this one. Two things Lee: First, the lookupd issue that was mentioned by "Where's Wardo?". Lookupd is a little spud of a daemon that has various agents that access information for it. These agents can be modified but only by someone who knows UN...er' that would be you. Others have just set a cron job to restart lookupd every once in a while. Secondly, there is a spelling error in BIND that came with 10.2. The actual BIND service in /System/Library/StartupItems/BIND/BIND has a spelling error to restart the service in case of error (ironically, usually 'caused' by lookupd). You will see DNSSServer instead of DNSServer inside BIND. Try removing the extra S, as root, and that should also help clean things up.
