Well, I can't tell you about tinydns's bizarre non-standard file format.

Using the internet standard zone file format, the format of the data for an 
AFSDB resource record consists of a number followed by a domain name.

The number is a subtype; for AFS database servers the correct value is '1'.
The domain name is the canonical fully-qualified name of a database server;
for cells with multiple database servers, publish multiple records.
