scripting is the better answer

our toolset just would have added to "ns1.mail.lab.example.com" at final 
dot because it contains more than one dot like it would to with 
"mail.exmaple.com" while "mail.example" would not get touched sicne it's 
clearly a subdmain

how often do you have "sub.sub.sub" within a zone and how often it's a 
external server - if you really need "sub.sub.sub" then you are require 
to type it full-qualified including the domain name, well and then the 
final dot is added again automatically - that don't happen that often 
and if you have a larger subdomain that deep just maintain it in a own 
zone file

that is catching real life for many years now and generates complete 
zone files out of a simple database with a small webinterface
