OK, after a little testing I determined that it is valid to have it
all on a single line and when it is on a single line the parens are
optional. This works quite nicely and makes my script easier to write.

Also, Bryan... just for your info the semicolons are simply comments
and really aren't at all needed for the DNS server to function
properly.

Thanks for the help everybody.
