OMG. I've been able to follow this thread without saying anything until
now. Craig, you've turned into a troll.
You're mad because Dan won't waste^Wspend his free time implementing
native support for bind zone files into djbdns; yet, you won't spend a
little bit of *your* free time to even learn the djbdns file format.
So, who's being the bully here? Who's trying to make everyone do it
their way? Hmm?
Noone here is trying to force you to accept djbdns. If you don't like
it, shut up and implement a better replacement for bind.
Disclaimer: I run bind9 and have never used djbdns.
