I have a script that goes through all the zones we do secondary DNS for and
greps for common misconfigurations.  We catch MX/NS records that point to
IP addresses, NS/PTR records in reverse domains where the admin forgot to
put the "." at the end (I look for hostnames ending in .in-addr.arpa),
expire times that are too short (Microsoft DNS has a nasty 1-day default
expire time) and refresh times that are too long.  When a zone shows up in
the report we notify the customer and nag them until they fix it.
