What were you trying to do?
Put an SLOC entry for WEBSTER into /etc/named.local in order
to override the system-wide hesiod information for that SLOC
entry.
What's wrong:
Rather than overriding the system-wide information, my
/etc/named.local entry was accepted in _addition_ to the
system-wide information. This may be the "correct behavior"
for the new version of named; however, it is _not_ how the old
named behaved, and furthermore, there is _no_ explanation in
named(8) of how to override the system-wide information with a
local entry.
What should have happened:
I am willing to believe that the behavior I observed is
correct for the new named; however, named(8) should explain
how to achieve the old behavior, because I really do need to
override the system-wide information in order to do some
debugging.
I don't know, maybe the man page says it and I just didn't see
it, but I don't think so....
Please describe any relevant documentation references:

Did you kill off named? kill -HUP `cat /etc/named.pid` is NOT
sufficient. You must kill it and restart it.
