Hi Kevin,
and thank you for your answer.

Whew... so at least, I didn't overlook something.

Ahaa, didn't think about that. Thank you.

Hmm, sorry for slowly getting off topic, but do you know about any
recommendable tool for doing this? Here I have an LDAP server, so I had
a short look at ldap2dns, but I would prefer a more simple, text-file
based solution, such as having both databases generated by a script
based on a hosts file or similar. I am trying to make my DNS server
machine as foolproof as possible, so attaching other complex software
isn't my preferred way to go; I just want to eliminate inconsistencies
with the lowest possible effort.
Greetings & Thanks,
Jan
