I wish I was more expensive to the company. :-)

What I care and what my boss cares about are two separate issues.

I already gave him a speech almost verbatim to your response.

So unless there is a free tool I am off the hook. :-)

Due diligence is a wonderful thing. (And I happily withdraw my offer or
need
to clarify that if YOUR BOSS wants me to write this tool my normal
consulting
rates apply. <GRIN>)

Oh, and I am expensive. <big GRIN>

Anyone aware of any tool that might be able to check how good forward
and reverse zones my match up? What I am looking for is a tool that
will read in all the records in my forward zone and compare them to
what is in the reverse zone.

You can script something fairly easily with DNSCmd (and perhaps Perl or
VBS)
but technically there is NO relationship between a Forward and a Reverse
zone
in DNS itself.

Also, why do you care? Reverse zones are practically irrelevant except
for
public SMTP servers.

I know of scavenging and yes we are running this, I just don't want to
age out ALL records (via dnscmd.exe), there are network hosts,
printers, etc... as well as other legacy info that might get dropped if
aggressively cleaned up.

Any ideas on checkups would be great.

You have helped enough people* that if you really need this then I will
write
something quick in Perl for you if you need me to do so....

*Including me. Thanks.
