I'm looking to migrate all of the zone data from one installation of Bind to 
another...hardware move. One machine is very old but running a pretty modern 
version of Bind 9.6-ESV-R8. The other server is running Bind 9.8.2 and is in 
use, so I'm merging existing zone data with new data, although none of the 
zones will overlap.

The problem I see is that the actual zone files, the way they are structured, 
are in an old format. Bind 9.6 must still understand them, but I don't think 
they are structured the "proper" way. I was hopeful there was an export / 
import procedure whereby that process would sanitize the zone info and log any 
errors for manual fixing.

Either this process is dead simple and so nobody documents it or it is all but 
impossible so nobody documents it...I'm not sure. But an hour of web searches 
hasn't turned up much, just lots of info about migrating to or from a Windows 
based DNS to BIND.

A helpful point in the right direction would be appreciated.

Thank you.
