named-xfer and file order

[Joseph Peterson]

Hmm.. that makes for difficulties in managing the DNS info =)
I'm still looking for a better way of getting everything over to the NS2
box though other than using 'scp' or the like to transfer the named.conf
then having a perlscript change everything from a master to a slave and
putting in the NS1 IP then reloading named.. just seems a bit too
sloppy, like there should already be something out there?
Thanks =)

% During zone transfers, records are transmitted in the order they
appear in
% named's memory.  Since order between names is not significant, named
makes
% no attempt to remember the order that the names appeared in the zone
file
% on the master, so the order on the slave will be apparently random.

The stuff I have to unlearn... With DNSsec, order is important and
preserved.
