If all your zones have same value (e.g. 604800) for expire and nothing else matches that value in the files you could do it fairly easily with a for loop and sed:
For example if all your zone files were named with a .com at end of name: for zonefile in `ls *.com` do sed -e s/604800/709600/ $zonefile >${zonefile}.new mv $zonefile ${zonefile}.old mv ${zonefile}.new $zonefile done The sed would find the 604800 in the zone file and replace it with 709600. You then have it send the sed output to a file with same zone name with .new appended. You then save the original zone file (for backout planning) and finally move the new zonefile over the original.
