r($1,2) } ' This is another example of how easy it is to parse the tinydns configuration syntax. Can you show me a script for BIND that reliably does the same thing? Parse named.conf to figure out the active zone files; parse the zone files; don't forget to deal with $ORIGIN and $INC

t's the programmer's job to deal with that complexity. What's really sad is that they continue blithely creating files in overly complicated formats. ---D. J. Bernstein, Associate Professor, Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science, University of Illinois at Chicago P.S.

isn't ``any easier'' for programs to parse than the BIND configuration. That's ludicrous. ---D. J. Bernstein, Associate Professor, Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science, University of Illinois at Chicago

nge much easier for _programs_ than BIND does. If someone wants to write a tool providing another configuration UI, he'll have a much easier time with djbdns than with BIND, because the file formats are much simpler. Everyone benefits. ---D. J. Bernstein, Associate Professor, Department of M
