No,
I'm afraid DNSdump won't help ... it is designed to exclusively dump Windows
based DNS service configurations and zones.
If you
can mail me a copy of the problematic zone file, I'd be willing to take a
look and see what's causing the error and if it easily resolvable (assuming the
content of the zone does not provide any overly sensitive
information).
Documentation does indeed exist that outlines the
necessary syntax of a zone file but, since the error you're experiencing appears
to manifest itself only on Windows based name servers, that may be a futile
exercise. The zone content can likely be reshaped to fit Windows'
requirements.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Sun Formatted Zone Files: Can DNSDump Help?I have a challenge for the group. I'm sure that someone else out there has seen this same issue.We are migrating from an NT 4.0 domain and Sun DNS to Windows Server 2003 Active Directory and DNS. The Sun admins gave us a text file of the DNS zones, and we were able to successfully import the forward lookup zones to Windows 2003. However, the reverse lookup zone import fails with the error 0xc011d501. My research into this error leads me to believe that the problem is with the formatting of the text file but I have been unable to find an example of what a properly formatted DNS zone text file should look like.So here is my question. Will the DNSDump utility referenced in this message, http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg09084.html, help us to import reverse lookup zones from the Sun formatted text files? Is there a specification for what a properly formatted DNS zone text file should look like, and if so, where can I find it?Please let me know if I left out any pertinent information. Thanks in advance for all of your help.jasonjordan MCSE, MCP+I, MCP
