Out of the blue, I can't dig (or do a dns resolve in anyway) on any of the ~15 domains I host. The only change I've recently made was isntalling cyrus+postfix. Any ideas?

FIXED:
I edited my hosts file. I think I had the syntax wrong. Before I had
x.x.x.x domain.com localhost


now I have
127.0.0.1 localhost
x.x.x.x domain.com

then I restared bind, and things worked again. I think that was it.

Yes, localhost should only be 127.0.0.1, that would do it.

Please always take the time to backup any and all data before performing any actions suggested for ANY problem, regardless of how minor a change it might seem. Also test the backup to make sure it is intact.
