BASH shell scripts to automate viewing/updating ODS.org domains and hosts

This application is intended to provide an overview of a site's own authoritative named (DNS) server's "zone" files. Note that it does NOT create or modify any files - so don't expect to use this application to "set up" a DNS server. There are three parts to the DNSzoneView document: a) brief numerical summary of zone RR counts b) scatter plot of zone files relative to number of RR records and last-modified date-time of a zone file c) a listing of configured "local" zone files and the ability to view a read-only copy of their data. Note that appropriate authorization is required to access the requisite files. Also, this application does not "discover" files that are used - they must be configured in advance.
