Zone transfer changing the zone name

The problem with this approach (removing all $ORIGIN lines) is that it
might remove origin information that is required for the zone to be
properly interpreted. It would be better to simply sed away the zone
name using a regexp:

s/zonename\.net\.(\s+;.*)?$//g

I haven't tested that one but you get the idea.

``And indeed people sometimes speak of man's "bestial" cruelty, but
this is very unfair and insulting to the beasts: a beast can never be
so cruel as a man, so ingeniously, so artistically cruel.''
(Ivan Karamazov, in Dostoyevsky's 'The Brothers Karamazov')
