god, i just had to rewrite an entire zonefile to take over a domain at work.
previous host didn't even know what the fuck a zonefile was, i just got a txt file with some made up fantasy format, probably exported from whatever dns tool they use.
bouncing e-mails back and forth while waiting for a response is so slow that this shit has been waiting for like two weeks because the old MSP is too incompetent to know what a bloody zonefile is. every time i asked "please just give me an actual zonefile" or "i just want an RFC 1035 file man, i can't import this other shit" they just sent back slight variants of the same weird file.
