Analyzing server configs

Good day,

I have inherted our DNS infastructure from various teams, and I'm
working to understand our configurations and dependancies.
Specifically, I've identified our key DNS servers, and I have their
configs, but I'd like to look over their "masters", "forwarders" and
delegations to see that there aren't any I missed, or to ensure that
servers aren't referring to servers that don't exist any more.

So, the question is this, are there any tools existing/home built that I
should be looking to to script dependancy checking and parsing of the
files?  If not, has anyone done this before?  What suggestions do you
have?

BTW, I'm not talking a small number of servers and me being lazy.  I'm
talking about a large number of server, so I do need to find some sort
of automated way to do this ... going through each file by hand and
building a visio diagram or spreadsheet would be entirely too daunting I
think.

Thanks for your help/advice/suggestions in advance.

Cheers,

Todd.
