Hello!

In the BIND 4.8 distribution we find:
	1) :pwedit - convert /etc/passwd into user records for BIND
	2) atod.y -  convert /usr/lib/aliases into mail records for BIND

What we do not find is a somewhat more complex program to transform /etc/hosts
into records for the BIND database.  Has anyone done this?
