Also,
This isn't exactly acceptable on a DNS server that serves several 100
domains... the time it would take to go through and flop 100 domains
from secondary to primary?? I feel carpel tunnel coming on!

I try to resist Microsoft bashing.. so please don't take it this way...
but WHY OH WHY must Microsoft insist on putting EVERYTHING in the

(dns.conf maybe??) that can be moved/backed up/edited with a text
editor??????
