How to convert BIND to TinyDNS?

It's pretty well documented in the page describing tinydns-data.  The
errors you were getting suggest that your BIND zone files contained
invalid entries which BIND was probably ignoring silently.

>> +domain1.com::*
>> +domain2.com::*
>> +domain3.com::*
>> +domain4.com::*
>> +domain5.com::*

What are those supposed to be?  Those are A records, they have to have
an IP address.

I've found the easiest thing is to use the djbdns axfr-get client to
AXFR the data from the old BIND server.  That way you get whatever
the BIND server was actually serving.
