Right. For example, the equivalent of BIND's

   www.panic.mil. IN A 1.8.7.99
   99.7.8.1.in-addr.arpa. IN PTR www.panic.mil.

(in two separate files) is

   +www.panic.mil:1.8.7.99
   ^99.7.8.1.in-addr.arpa:www.panic.mil

which you can combine into

   =www.panic.mil:1.8.7.99

for easier administration. See http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/frombind.html for
more time-saving tips.

No. I mean that you can omit the serial number, in which case djbdns
provides a serial number automatically.

These are all optional features. You can use painful BIND-style
administration if that's what you're comfortable with.
