The other day I was adding some entries to our DNS, using the power of emacs tramp, and it occurred to me that the zone file wasn’t syntax highlighted like vim does it, and unlike when using the wrapper scripts Eman wrote, I had to manually increment the serial number and reload the nameserver. That’s so much effort.
So just now I whipped up a zonefile.el that so far does the syntax highlighting, but it’s a good start. It’s in my arch repo jaq@spacepants.org--2004 under the imaginatively titled branch elisp--main--0.
