It's pretty well documented in the page describing tinydns-data. The
errors you were getting suggest that your BIND zone files contained
invalid entries which BIND was probably ignoring silently.

What are those supposed to be? Those are A records, they have to have
an IP address.

I've found the easiest thing is to use the djbdns axfr-get client to
AXFR the data from the old BIND server. That way you get whatever
the BIND server was actually serving.
