Direct parsing of bind files

[TropicalThunder]

I might be entirely wrong... but is there a way to parse a raw zone/bind file? I haven't been able to find a simple way to parse zone files into C# objects. I would assume that DnsClient parses this internally as a response from a NS server... but is there a way to supply the file from text (disk, stream w/e), without accessing a NS server?

Basic example of zone file:

$ORIGIN example.com. $TTL 86400 @ SOA dns1.example.com. hostmaster.example.com. ( 2001062501 ; serial 21600 ; refresh after 6 hours 3600 ; retry after 1 hour 604800 ; expire after 1 week 86400 ) ; minimum TTL of 1 day ; ; NS dns1.example.com. NS dns2.example.com. dns1 A 10.0.1.1 AAAA aaaa:bbbb::1 dns2 A 10.0.1.2 AAAA aaaa:bbbb::2 ; ; @ MX 10 mail.example.com. MX 20 mail2.example.com. mail A 10.0.1.5 AAAA aaaa:bbbb::5 mail2 A 10.0.1.6 AAAA aaaa:bbbb::6 ; ; ; This sample zone file illustrates sharing the same IP addresses for multiple services: ; services A 10.0.1.10 AAAA aaaa:bbbb::10 A 10.0.1.11 AAAA aaaa:bbbb::11

ftp CNAME services.example.com. www CNAME services.example.com. ; ;

No, DnsClient only reads wire format from a response from a server. There is currently no code which reads a zone file.

I might add that at some point but I never needed it so far ^^
