zone2json - convert BIND zones to JSON

zone2json {--named-conf=PATH, --zone-file=PATH [--zone-name=NAME]} [OPTION]

zone2json parses BIND named.conf files and zonefiles and outputs JSON on standard out, which can then be fed to the PowerDNS API.

zone2json understands the BIND master file extension $GENERATE and will also honour $ORIGIN and $TTL.

Read PATH to get the BIND configuration
Parse only the zone file at PATH Conflicts with --named-conf parameter.
When parsing a single zone without $ORIGIN statement, set ZONE as the zone name.

List all options
Ignore missing zone files during parsing. Dangerous.
Be verbose during conversion.
