bogosity while updating 8.2.2-P7 to 8.2.3:
(1) 8.2.3 Doesn't accept the "(" in the SOA string to be on the next line after the IN SOA. Our script-generated zonefiles, about 45000 of them, all had this.
Neither do the relevant RFC's, or any other DNS implementation. Pre-8.2.3 was simply _wrong_ to accept that syntax.
Is there any particular harm from accepting this syntax. It wouldn't be the first time a RFC has been updated to match working code.
