In the unlikely event that you are obliged (like me) to copy a
configuration file such as a DNS config from a Mac to a UNIX box don't
(like me) make a rookie error with the line-endings.
Exasperatingly, the standard basic TextEdit on Mac OS X doesn't show
the difference between Mac standard line-endings (CR), UNIX (LF) and
DOS (CR,LF). Nor does it allow easy replacement of these vital
characters. So if you write or edit such DNS config files in the OS X
graphical world, they can look fine but still read as gibberish when
copied to OS X's UNIX underbelly.
Fortunately, there are full-blooded OS X editors out there like
TextWrangler and BBEdit which can sort the mess out. In my case, only
after two days of head-scratching and table-kicking. Doh.
