This paper presents a zone file generation tool that creates forward and reverse zone files from master ones. It can maintain multiple domains and multiple views, while most of simular tools can do only single domain. The view feature was introduced in BIND version 9 and is useful for firewall'ed sites. Such a site has multiple access lines to the (global) Internet, to its intranet, to its DMZ net and so on, and its DNS server has to reply different DNS zone information depending on where the query comes. The view feature supports to let a DNS server answer differently depending on the IP addresses of the query clients. This paper also points out the common mistakes in zone file descriptions. A part of them are introduced by incorrect DNS management programs which are, in many case, old and no longer maintained. Correct zone file generation tools can reduce the number of them. The information on the mistakes is helpful for not only the users of the tool but also DNS administrators who write zone files manually.
