Yes. I think that you missed the intent here


I work in an environment where I have to update numerous zone files and propagate the DNS changes to various DNS servers quite often


My intent was during the interim transfer period where I have updated the zone file on the nameserver I would be able to parse the zone file, break the RRs into constituent components and compare those to an actual lookup on the nameserver once the named has been restarted (and the ttl lowered to 5 min and propagated)


so it is quite the point to have differing returned variables. Where my trouble lie is that the code I posted returns the MX portion in such a way that I am not sure how to compare the datum.
