This one is hardy perennial, of course, but I've been working on an
"index zone" in a certain local DNS context recently, and thinking
how convenient it would have been if BIND had provided one for me
(under class CHAOS, name "zones.bind" or something along those lines).
I wonder whether this is on ISC's wish-list, and if so, how far down ...
The issue with something like this is it apparently requires
configuring views in order to be able to load zone(s) of non-default
type IN. Configuring views isn't always desired. Perhaps an option to
rndc though....
BIND already creates an internal view "_bind" with class CH to contain
the zones version.bind, hostname.bind, authors.bind, etc. I was thinking
in terms of zones.bind living there as well.
Of course there's the barber-shaving question: should zones.bind contain
an entry describing itself?
