Well, I'm trying to combine the DNS platforms of 4 different companies
onto a single standard platform.  I've got over 350,000 domains....  all
of which need redelegating.  And just to make life fun these 4 different
platforms have all been left to rot for years.

None of the tools I've found have provided me with any of the
information I need to speed up the process.  So I've resorted to using a
variety of tools, and writing my own.

For checking the actual zonefiles, I tend to use named-checkzone which
is part of the bind distribution - but not part of the BSD install
unfortunately.

As for my scripts...  well they are rather nasty :-(

But I've attached a re-hacked hack of a hack script of mine that may be
useful.

    cat domainlist | perl auths.pl
