        Explain mish mash.. ;-)  You must be refering to the SOA portion
        of the zone file?  I've yet to see (or write) a tool that would do
        this conversion without pain, but I could put something together
        quick like.

        As far as the named.conf file, you should just be able to replace
        the slave line with type master and remove the excess stuff.  This
        does become tedious when you have hundreds of entries in
        named.conf.

        I usually just search and replace, etc,etc the hard way.  Maybe
        someone has a tool?
