Simon,
I assume you are referring to QuickDNS Pro version 2.2.1 (I've seen your
posts on QDNS-Talk). I had this same problem. The fix is at the end of this
e-mail, but Men & Mice needs your help to figure this out (they spent 2 weeks
trying to reproduce my problem and couldn't do it).
Copy your QDNS data folder, and the prefs file in the System
Folder-->Preferences folder. Copy the primary data and preferences from any
server you act as a secondary for. Copy the data folder and preferences from
any server which is a secondary for yours. Copy your log file(s). Document
your configuration (hey, backup your whole system). Put it all in a safe
place. Then contact Men & Mice (email@hidden) and tell them your
situation and ask if they want to analyze your files.
Regardless of the forgoing, trashing the prefs file and letting QDNS rebuild
a new one seems to solve the lock on quit problem (it did for me). BE SURE TO
HAVE YOUR SERIAL NUMBER - YOU WILL NEED TO RE-ENTER IT!
Cheers.
