should the outcome of samba-tool dns query ... be changed?

[Günter Kukkukk]

During my current work on the internal dns server, i _always_ got
confused with the outcome of the "complete" (?) internal dns info
when using e.g.
   samba-tool dns query <dns_server> <zone> @ ALL

Compared to the wellknown bind "flat ASCII zone" file info
published on _many_ websites (burned into my head) - the
current output of "samba-tool .." is just strange.

Probably users will start to parse the outcome of "samba-tool ..."
using scripts.

Is it OK to make that output more "bind ASCII flatfile" ?

Current outcome:
================

At least this new "picture" shows that some entries with the terminating dot "." - used
to say that a _complete_ dns name is used here - are BADLY written here!
(whether client updates - or samba-tool .... - I don't know atm)
