All, Does anyone know of a good script to convert host files to DNS zone files? I tried using h2n, with an updated version here. I figured since the former was written by the author of DNS and Bind (Cricket Liu), and the latter is another coworker at HP according to Liu in his companion DNS book. However, after looking at the code, I find that it's very much spaghetti with long, long subroutines (not modules), tons of global variables... the usual stuff one should try to avoid. Granted, it seems even the latter was last updated in 2004, so refactoring may not be a priority for them now.

However, as I'm slated to get this DNS migration done in a couple weeks, I'm wondering if people know of something better to convert hosts files to DNS zone files. Suggestions, anyone?
