h2n 2.38

[h.w.d.veenstra at kpn.com]

Hi Andris,

Another question about h2n.
Previously we used hosts_to_named, a HP-provided shell script, to convert
hosts files to bind 4.x db and config files. We are using a (generated)
hosts file containing only fully qualified domain names from several
domains. With hosts_to_named it was possible to generate data for several
domains in one run, with a resulting named.boot containing references to all
these domains. With h2n I have not (yet) managed to do this, since it only
accepts one domain name with the -d option. Creating these files in more
than one run results in an incomplete named.conf; it appears that h2n
removes all references to zones that are not specified.
Is this correct or am I missing something?
