syntax/format of zone on slave $ORIGIN/paragraph - sorted?

[Walter Smith]

Is it possible to have just single sorted paragraph(s) within all these repeating $ORIGINs?

Like this:

$ORIGIN bar.
a A 1.2.3.4
b A 1.2.3.5
c A 1.2.3.6

$ORIGIN foo.bar.
a A 1.2.3.44

b A 1.2.3.55

c A 1.2.3.66

$ORIGIN cd-to.bar.

a A 1.2.3.444


b A 1.2.3.555


c A 1.2.3.666


...'cause in my case I see this $ORIGIN keep repeating over-and-over again and I have to extract and blend all these paragraphs...like some way down the road I'll see again:


$ORIGIN bar.
x A 1.2.3.40
y A 1.2.3.50
z A 1.2.3.60



Thanks,
-WS

$ORIGIN is simply appended to every name that does not have dot at the end.
So
$ORIGIN example.com
www a 1.2.3.4

and
www.example.com. a 1.2.3.4
are completely equivalent.

Now, why would you want to look into slave files, except for verifying
that the zone transfer succeeded?
