From 8.1.2 to 9.2.0
BIND 9.2.0 expects the db files in a slightly different format compared to
the previous versions.
A shell script "change2v9db.sh" is provided with BIND 9.2.0 to convert
the existing db files to BIND 9.2.0-compliant db files. The shell script is
installed in the /usr/bin directory.
The following steps describe how to convert the db files to BIND
9.2.0-compliant db files:

2. Execute the script as specified below with all the db files as
arguments.
# /usr/bin/change2v9db.sh dbfile1 dbfile2 ...
