Well, it's time to learn to use 'dig' and 'host' anyway, so:
host -c chaos -t txt version.bind. localhost
dig @localhost version.bind. txt chaos
aha!

okay -- i'm using the 'deception approach' to the security-rife
'bind' (according to posts i've seen here):
// in /etc/bind/named.conf (that's where slink put it, and

version something as unlike 'BIND' as i can get;
};
that's chaos? :)

Your zone files live in /etc/bind? The debian default was /var/cache/bind/ I thought? Apart from that, I dunno :) BIND is such a complete law unto itself, tho' Gavin.
