Production Quality eh?  EH?!?  My current attitude is ``wouldn't touch bind8
with a very long bargepole, and use bind9 in preference''.

  1)  Find a Debian Box
  2)  apt-get install bind9

And write a 10 line perl script to munge named.conf (though I expect there
is already a script[s] to do the necessary).
