Have to agree, on both points.  I've decided that setting up zone files
and master files the way we all know is the RIGHT way is like coding in
assembler.  You have such complete control ... that a person who isn't
aware of all the fine points can mess the thing up five ways from
Sunday ... if he or she can get it to be accepted by the parser in the
first place.

There must be a more human-comprehensible way.
