Migrating DHCP from Unix to AD

The title says most of it...

We use fixed allocations based on Mac addresses. The Unix
DHCP server uses a nice simple text file, with entries like
this:

>host balblair {
> hardware ethernet 00:a0:c9:b5:a0:41;
> fixed-address 172.16.64.12;
>}

I want to transfer all of these to reservations on the AD DHCP
server, but I don't want to type them all in. Is there a way to
do this?

(also, why does Windows use "-" for separating bytes of a Mac
address, whereas everyone else uses ":")?

"do some magic with the text file" and try using NETSH DHCP commands

Thanks. The documentation for netsh is a bit opaque, to say the least,
but that was enough to get the job done.
