There might be some zones that are rarely used, you may see those as
dead using that method.<br>
<br>
I was thinking of a script that would take your list of zones
(essentially the .conf file) and for each zone do something like a
"dig +trace" and look for whether your servers are listed as name
servers for that zone.<br>
<br>
Those you are no longer listed in can be removed immediately, those
where you are listed but has no or very little traffic, you can make
inquiries about and act accordiingly.<br>

<div>I have discovered that we have an excessive amount of old
zones not being used. Is there a trick, or a simple way to
determine which zones have not been referenced in a long time?</div>

</div>
<div>My best guess is to simply log queries and read the log
files. Would that be the recommended way?</div>
