I think my problem is solved. We did a full stop and start and
everything appeared to have cleared the issue. We always just do a
reload when a zone is added or changed. I suppose the cache was
whacky or something and stopping and starting cleared it. I thought
cache was cleared every 60 minutes by default so not sure if that was
it.

Thanks,
