	Of course you don't do it by hand.. you use a script of some sort to do
it, and hopefully introduce some consistency to your zone files in the
process. :) It's fairly easy to do in perl, I could post a script I
used, but as these things are prone to be my script is too full of local
particulars to be of general use. Besides, it's a fairly trivial perl
script to write.

	Apparently syntax checking got stricter. If you don't do a kill and
restart every once in a while, it's easy for additional errors to sneak
in unnoticed at times. Either way, it's basically impossible to be sure
unless you post some files and their related errors.
