Does this apply if you are not using key-signed updates?
If so, perhaps the man page should indicate this.

PS, the code should still do it right, I'd need to add this
    '3 line change' for over 1500 zones at present and then,
    of course, I'd need to make sure I keep up with each new
    zone added by the dns guys.
