It's possible to use TSIG keys to match views. So you could do the zone 
transfers with different TSIG keys and get different versions of the same zone.

I understand your point. But for the script, I'll need the content of all my 
zones in all views. Zone transfers won't be very efficient for that.
Until now I have experimented with the "-j" option from named-compilezone to 
take care of the journals. Though, I'm not sure this is much more efficient. 
Another option I evaluated was "rndc sync", but it isn't available on bind 9.8 
But your reply made me think of yet another solution. "rndc dumpdb -zones" 
gives me the latest content of all zones of all views in a single file. And, 
luckily, it uses the "full" style :) So this should be fine for me.

But before I try to re-invent the wheel:
Does anyone know if there is already a parser for multiple 
zone_files/zone_dumps/zone_transfers? I'm trying to filter all DNS records that 
are related to a given host/ip?

Thanks and Regards,
Stefan
