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.

The master file format is mostly defined by RFC1035.  See
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1035#section-5.1

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

The bit from the first semicolon to the end of the line was missing.
Is that expected behavior?


A semicolon begins a comment in a zone file [1], so yes.
