Hi Grant,
I would suggest this on the 5108R system, assuming that all of your DNS 
records can be wiped and then imported from the 5106R system:

1. Run /usr/sausalito/sbin/dnsDeleteAllRecords.pl
You will need to use --delete-confirm to have effect.
This will erase all the DNS records on the system.

2. Copy the contents of the 5106R boxes /etc/named/ to an import folder 
on the 5108R (don't just put it in /etc/named).

3. Run /sbin/dnsImport.pl PATHTOZONEFILES

4. Restart Bind with /etc/init.d/named restart

You may run into some errors with duplicate zones or entries just 
because the import isn't flawless.  To cure, take a look in the GUI and 
make sure that no invalid reverse zones exist.  It's probably easiest to 
just delete any reverse zones (ie: networks).

That ought to work for you.  Good luck.
