Hi,
My ISP is using BIND for our domains. Now I plan to shift our domains to 
my friend's server, who has also agreed to give me an IP to make my ns.
But I have to be very very careful because all the 7 domains are live 
domains and well in use. I managed to get a sample file from my ISP's 
admin in BIND format but am not sure on how to make in in tinydns 
format. The add-* tools are not much helpful in my case. Can someone 
suggest me a way to go thru' it? The BIND sample is as below,

$TTL    600

@       IN      SOA     ns.example.com. admin.admin.com. (
                        1095739600      ; Serial
                        10800   ; Refresh
                        3600    ; Retry
                        604800  ; Expire
                        86400 ) ; Minimum

example.com.             IN NS   ns2.example-ns.net.
example.com.             IN A    1.2.3.4
mail.example.com.                IN A    1.2.3.5
ftp.example.com.                 IN CNAME        example.com.
www.example.com.                 IN A    1.2.3.5
example.com.            IN MX  10 mail.example.com.

I am worried more on handling Cnames (which I want to have) and 
ns enteries as above. I don't want ns enteries in a.ns. style.
Can someone show me sample enteries considering the above BIND files?
Essentially I am looking for these enteries in tinydns format. I can 
make most of them, but am scared to do so for a live domain so taking a 
precaution by asking the list.
Though 7 domains is not too much of work to do by hand, it would be great 
if someone suggests some automatic scripts on lines of add-*. If there are none
then I can write one.

With warm regards,
-Payal
