bind external DNS zone config #86

Description

@haarias

Hi, i am a pfsense user. I have the last stable version of this magnificent Firewall(and more), but i'm dealing with an issue about BindDNS package and the name.conf file. The thing is that i have a WAN subnet with /29 and when i define my reverse zone, everything goes well, but when i restart de service using the pfsense interface something goes wrong with the name.conf file because for some reason this file has an error in the line 48, the /240 doesn't have to be there:

  1. zone "240/x.x.x.190.in-addr.arpa" { 47. type master; 48. file "/etc/namedb/master/Externa/240/x.x.x.190.DB";

the correct way will be:

  1. zone "240/x.x.x.190.in-addr.arpa" { 47. type master; 48. file "/etc/namedb/master/Externa/x.x.x.190.DB";

and because of that i have to fixit manually every time the service restart. All of this is happening on Unix/linux, and for Unix/linux the / symbol is a delimiter for files path, and that is the reason why the reference to the area is lost, because with that description, it tries to find the area in the / 240 directory which does not exist
Can you helpme ?
thanks in advance
