[CentOS] Beware - Yum 3.5 to 3.6 upgrade replaces named.conf -- not a YUM issue ...

[Michael Rock]

I assume the significant changes were for ip6 since
other than adding a location for the dump and
statistics file, it adds these 3 zones which looks
like they are all for ip6 support. Since I am not
using ip6 and do not know anyone who is yet I assume
it is safe to leave these out.

zone
"0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa"
IN {
        type master;
	file "named.ip6.local";
	allow-update { none; };
};

zone "255.in-addr.arpa" IN {
	type master;
	file "named.broadcast";
	allow-update { none; };
};

zone "0.in-addr.arpa" IN {
	type master;
	file "named.zero";
	allow-update { none; };
};
