I'm currently using the DNSresource.vbs to dump zones to a text file, then I use another VBS I wrote to parse the text file, and re-import the Reverse zones.
The syntax I am using is: DnsResource /LIST PTR %2.%1.10.in-addr.arpa /S <SERVER> /O zone\%2-%1-10.dns %1 and %2 are the B and C octets since I just run it from a command line batch file. The output creates an entry for each record like this: Record Name : 101.176.251.10.in-addr.arpa Host Name : gprdapm998624.northamerica.intra.company.com. DNS Server : abtapdcn02.northamerica.intra.company.com Zone : 176.251.10.in-addr.arpa Domain : 176.251.10.in-addr.arpa TTL : 900 If your output comes like this, I can give you the VBS to reimport them, but I don't know if DnsResource.vbs works on unix. If you can send me the output of a DIG dump I can rewrite the syntax for yout oo.
