That's a good use case. :)

We'll need to write a parser for full BIND 9 at some point, but for now
maybe you can give us a quick look at the exact zone formats in your
included file?

What we probably want to do is something like:

  for each zone in the named.include file:
     if it is not already configured in BIND 10:
        add to BIND 10 configuration
     
This can be done with our clunky bindctl tool today, the only trick is
that first line... which we can probably do with awk in your case.

Note that if you also want to remove zones then it's a bit tricker,
although not horribly so - it just means keeping the previous version
of named.include around and using diff to find out what those zones are.

Cheers,
