Sorry, no gots, but, below is a script that you might be able to use as
the bottom half of a script that generates the BIND zone statements. You
will have to write the top half that sucks in the tdns stuff...

#!/usr/bin/perl
#Get the IP of the Master for these zones...
# David Botham
print "Enter a description for this segment: ";
$discription = <STDIN>;
chomp $discription;

print "Enter the IP address of the Master name server for these zones: ";
$MASTER = <STDIN>;
chomp $MASTER;
print "Enter the sub-directory for these zones: ";
$DIRECTORY = <STDIN>;
chomp $DIRECTORY;

#Open the file containing the zone names, one per line...

print "Enter the name of the file containing zone list: ";
$DLIST = <STDIN>;
chomp $DLIST;
open(INFILE, "$DLIST");

print "Enter the name of the Zone DB File: ";
$ZONEDB = <STDIN>;
chomp $ZONEDB;


#Open the output files, one for the Master named.conf and one for the
Slave named.conf
open(SLAVE, ">$DLIST.slave.txt");
open(MASTER, ">$DLIST.master.txt");

print MASTER "//\n// $discription\n//\n";
print SLAVE "//\n// $discription\n//\n";

#Read the list of domains from the file containing the zone names...
@DOMAINS = (<INFILE>);

#Write the zone directives to the conf files...
foreach $DOMAIN (@DOMAINS) {
chomp $DOMAIN;
print MASTER "zone \"$DOMAIN\"\{\n\ttype master\;\n\tfile
\"$DIRECTORY\/$ZONEDB\"\;\n\t\n\}\;\n";
print SLAVE "zone \"$DOMAIN\"\{\n\ttype slave\;\n\tfile
\"$DIRECTORY\/$DOMAIN.$ZONEDB\"\;\n\tmasters\{$MASTER\;\}\;\n\}\ ;\n";
}

#Close all files, write an error message if not sucessful...
close INFILE || die "could not close file $!";
close MASTER || die "could not close file $!";
close SLAVE || die "could not close file $!";


You may have to copy it to a text editor and fix any line wrapping that
may have occurred in transit...


hth,
