1 each stupid awk script that handles 90% of our needs for conversion of
hosts table to domain database format:

/^#/	{print ";	"$0;next}
/^$/	{next}
{
split($2,hn,".");
printf("%s\tIN\tA\t%s\n", hn[1], $1);
for(i=3; i< 9; i++)
	{
	if (!$i) break;
	split($i,nn,".");
	if (hn[1] != nn[1])
		printf("%s\tIN\tCNAME\t%s\n", nn[1], hn[1]);
	}
}
