Query zone expiration time

We have the zone data - the slave is alive and the zones are on disk.  I
don't care about recovering the master server that died because we've
been wanting to move the zones it served to our Infoblox systems anyways
and this presented a 'do or die' opportunity.  The original question was
to determine how much time we had to do so.

Besides, whoever said this was production and that our Infoblox
infrastructure wasn't already vetted?

Hmm.  If you don't care about recovering the zone data, why were you
bothering to serve it in the first place?

is why we wanted to determine if we had enough time or if we had to
bother with the recovery, hence the question.

If I had a transition already planned and implemented, and the
replacement system was adequately tested to the point where I was
willing to switch over early due to an unexpected system failure, then I
might consider switching a production system over to something else.

The other 99% of the time, if something in production breaks, you
replace it with exactly the same thing.  Making any kind of
infrastructure change is handled in a process which is not emergency
recovery from a failure.
