In djbdns the dots are optional. I noticed they, the dots, were added
when I imported all of my domains via axfr. While I couldn't find the
reference directly, the following link indirectly states that trailing
dots are not required (http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/blurb/easeofuse.html).
What would be your thoughts on removing them from all records that are
human editable/viewable and having the data file generator create them
when(if) necessary?

Great to hear. I spent a bit of time on the upgrade script and
document, so it's good to hear it working in the field.
I have a question regarding the creation of new records. Which
records
need to end in a . ?? It looks like NS, CNAME, and PTR records
require
this.. Would it be possible to put in some sort of check to ensure
that
there is a trailing . ??
A dot should always come after the TLD, i.e. "com.". However, I
believe they are optional in djbdns. Thought I can't seem to put my
finger on that in the website right now.
Also, the ability to sort by the different fields would be nice...
That should be easy to add, and useful for large zones. I'll look
into it.

Bill
