Hi Andreas,

the problem is fixed (or better: prevented) in

/cvsroot/ispman/ispman/lib/dns.bind8.lib,v  <--  dns.bind8.lib
new revision: 1.22; previous revision: 1.21

Regarding the template:
Yes, would be nice thing to have that in a template (which in turn would 
get rid of the header/footer files).
In fact, that could be nice "sub-project" for a volunteer, because it is 
one of the few points where ispman is already modular.
One would only need to create a new dns.whatever.lib with some fancy new 
templates and change the "namedBackend" confVar to "whatever".
