Thank you, JP. Nice blog post. Very enlightening.

So yes, that's expected behaviour. You need to quote that ; unless you
want BIND to interpret it as the start of a comment

Thank you as well, Bjørn. I might skim through the RFC, but JP's post is much lighter reading. ;)


Quite a contrast to the required semicolons in the BIND configuration files. Many a time, when I first started using BIND, it would throw errors at me because of a missing semicolon inside curly braces or right after the closing one.
