She is running her own...

/etc/named.boot (names have been changed to protect the innocent)

directory                               /var/named
cache           .                       named.ca
primary         0.0.127.in-addr.arpa    named.local
primary         1.111.222.in-addr.arpa  db.222.111.1
primary         domain.com              db.domain.com

/var/named/db.222.111.1 is IP > name and /var/named/db.domain.com
is name > IP. They are both setup properly (at least I duplicated
the syntax and structure of those on my RH 5.2 boxen).
