Dave,
As a future timesaver (because you will have to do this again someday), you
might want to take the time now to eliminate all A records to mail, and set
the following:
mail IN CNAME mail.ISP.net.
@ IN MX 10 mail.ISP.net.
By doing this, you've dropped your editing needs to 1 line in 1 zone file.
G'luck,
-Troy

**
** Just to give you an awk-alternative: pipe your zonefiles through this:
**
** awk '/10.1.1.58/ {if ($1=="mail"&&$2=="IN"&&$3="A") print
** $1"\t"$2"\t"$3"\t10.0.0.1"; else print $0;} !/10.1.1.58/ {print}'
**
** It's probably far from optimal but it will not just change *any*
** occurance
** of that ip address, as in the sed example; only the A records for hosts
** named "mail".
