I would be tempted to develop the scripts against 1.3 since it shouldn't have any surprises, then try them with a smallish number of zones (500?) on 1.4 and 2.0 just to make sure it works. Then do a larger runs against each release and see what happens....</div><div><br></div><div>Sara. </div><div><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><br>--<br>Jerry Lundström - OpenDNSSEC Developer<br><a href="http://www.opendnssec.org/">http://www.opendnssec.org/</a><br><br></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
