Atalkd is trying to tell you that all those zones are present on net 204.
Changing atalkd.conf will have no affect on which zone afpd advertises
itelf in.

Change this to something like:
ATALK_NAME="`echo ${HOSTNAME}|cut -d. -f1`@Twilight Zone"
Have a look at the nbp_name man page, which says:
To cause afpd to register itself in some zone other than the default,
one would invoke it as
afpd -n @some-other-zone

The CVS tree at sourceforge is the most current source available. But it
is a development version right now, so don't be surprised if there are
problems...
