Secondary Zone 'Raw' File format

[Dave Carey]

Just one follow up question Evan

I understand as you say that its the wire format,  but for info is it
proprietary or is it related to the message standards defined in RFC
1035<http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns/apd/rfc1035.txt>.
 or is it something else

Cheers
Dave
