You might want to look at the output of:<br>
dig axfr example.com<br>
<br>
This gives also the contents of the zone, nicely sorted but with an
added SOA at the end.<br>
<br>
I would suggest to use it for comparison with the files to look for
some of those interesting endings (~~.com\032.) Those really look
odd to me.<br>

Now I have a different problem. After converting alll the zones to
master many zones failed to load because of this:

Any idea why? Is there a configuration setting to ignore these

I have a task to clone a black box IPAM to a bind DNS server.
Actually
<br>
the black box is using bind in the backend but the
manufacturer does not
<br>
provide any shell access. Only a crappy GUI. So I do not have
access to
<br>
the text zone files. Just the GUI.
<br>
<br>
In order to clone all the zones from the original DNS to the
clone, I
<br>
setup a bind in slave config and allowed zone transfers for
it. This is
<br>
a sample config:
<br>
<br>
/etc/bind/named.conf.local:
<br>
<br>
... Output omitted ...
<br>
<br>
zone "16.2.10.in-addr.arpa" {
<br>
type slave;
<br>
file "db.16.2.10.in-addr.arpa";
<br>
masters { 10.1.12.61; };
<br>
};
<br>
<br>
zone "24.3.10.in-addr.arpa" {
<br>
type slave;
<br>
file "db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa";
<br>
masters { 10.1.12.61; };
<br>
};
<br>
<br>
... Output omitted ...
<br>
<br>
After bind restart, the zone transfers an all zones are
completed
<br>
successfully. The resultant files are some sort of binary:
<br>
<br>
# file /var/cache/bind/db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa
<br>
/var/cache/bind/db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa: data
<br>
<br>
Now to promote the server to master I changed the
configuration to:
<br>
<br>
/etc/bind/named.conf.local:
<br>
<br>
... Output omitted ...
<br>
<br>
zone "16.2.10.in-addr.arpa" {
<br>
type master;
<br>
file "db.16.2.10.in-addr.arpa";
<br>
};
<br>
<br>
zone "24.3.10.in-addr.arpa" {
<br>
type master;
<br>
file "db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa";
<br>
};
<br>
<br>
... Output omitted ...
<br>
<br>
But when I restart bind I get a lot of errors like this:
<br>
<br>
named[19773]: dns_master_load: db.24.3.10.in-addr.arpa:1:
syntax error
<br>
named[19773]: zone 24.3.10.in-addr.arpa/IN: loading from
master file db.24.3
<br>
.10.in-addr.arpa failed: syntax error
<br>
named[19773]: zone 24.3.10.in-addr.arpa/IN: not loaded due
to errors.
<br>
<br>
Apparently the systems expects to see a zone file in text
format but
<br>
because it's in binary it fails. I also tested it with:
<br>
<br>
# named-checkzone 24.3.10.in-addr.arpa
/var/cache/bind/db.24.3.10.in-addr.arp
<br>
... Output omitted ...

<br>
<br>
I know I must be doing something fundamentally wrong here but
I couldn't
<br>
find a guide how to do this properly. Any ideas?
<br>
<br>
I am using bind version 9.9.5-3-Ubuntu ( the stock binary that
comes
<br>
with Ubuntu 14.04 64 bit) and the compiled parameters are:
<br>
named[7817]: built with '--prefix=/usr'
'--mandir=/usr/share/man'
<br>
'--infodir=/usr/share/info' '--sysconfdir=/etc/bind'
<br>
'--localstatedir=/var' '--enable-threads' '--enable-largefile'
<br>
'--with-libtool' '--enable-shared' '--enable-static'
<br>
'--with-openssl=/usr' '--with-gssapi=/usr' '--with-gnu-ld'
<br>
'--with-geoip=/usr' '--with-atf=no' '--enable-ipv6'
'--enable-rrl'
<br>
