The MNAME would be the field directly after SOA eg;

@  IN  SOA  MNAME  RNAME (...)

It is in: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc1035.txt - Section
3.3.13. SOA RDATA format.

I've been looking into that.  I feel like an idiot, but... I can't find
anything that tells me how MNAME is written in the zone file.  Googling
both newsgroups and the Web, even the RFC don't come out and say.  It's
apparently in the SOA, but... where?
