Ok...partly user error, partly network guys (yes! again!!). the user error was on my part...I guess it would help to put the NEW IP address of the slave server in my DNS settings--not the old one. Once I did that everything internal was working. I still couldn't get external DNS names to resolve. Talked to the network guys, and they mentioned that they had changed some router settings so that none of the servers (except the master DNS server) can get to the outside world. Not the best thing for a slave dns server, but that's the way it was intended. So really...i have no problems at all (with DNS anyway). Which is good being I only received one reply. Thanks anyway to the un-named "system administration account" person who tried to help.
