Oh, the regexes were many and nasty. I was burned back on my personal nameserver a month or so ago on the 9.0.0 release, and fixed it by hand. The 300 or so domains hosted on the work machines.. well, gross regexes. On Mon, Jan 29, 2001 at 11:42:26PM -0500, jlewis@lewis.org wrote:

BIND 8.2.3 makes you do that, too.
It complains about the absence of $TTL, but it doesn't "make you do it".
How many other sites got burned by non-RFC compliant SOA record formats that used to work in every prior bind 8 / bind 4 version? I refuse to believe I'm the only one. I had to write a pair of little perl scripts and a bourne shell script to examine all our zone files and fix the ones that needed fixing.
