How to Reset DNS ( Completely Clear and Start Over )
How do I remove all zones and begin again.
Why you might ask? I moved this server from one DNS zone to another and used the command line to changeip and that seemed to work but I cannot seem to get the DNS set properly.
The current behavior is that when view the Server Admin> DNS> The ZONES shows 2 zones off and on..... as in one zone disappears and reappears at intervals and then I get the follow dialog: Uncaught exception raised in DNS client-side plugin. Sorry but the feature you tried to access cannot be used. Exception is......etc. " the rest is pretty unintellegable to me....
So this server more or less works but DNS is a mess. How can I force it to no DNS service used state. Delete whatever it is that is stuck and then add a new zone back in.... I think I can do that part... I've done it before.
Any advice or suggestions appreciated.
