Randal was good enough to put David in touch with me directly, but
others might want to try out my C and Perl solution to this task.
It's available for anonymous FTP from host cse.ogi.edu, in
pub/dnsparse-2.0.tar.Z.

Note that this includes a subroutine which is a general parser of DNS
master files, plus some programs which use the parser to produce
interesting things: a hosts-style file, and a primitive set of PTR
records based on A records, to name a couple.

I apologize in advance for the lack of documentation, but the tools
(especially "dns2hosts") are robust and have served us well for quite
some time.
