What can I say.... I just couldnt resist having a play with ...... DNS 
records.

Here is a realy quick'n dirty script that you can use.... Disclaimer: 
Not really heavily tested. Just pass it 3 arguments. Domain, OldIP, NewIP

In its current form, it will get all "A" records for the specified 
domain. (www, mail, anything)... so dont run it in its current form 
unless thats what you want to do.

A quick explanation to help give you some comfort: The "for" line in the 
script does a cce query to find the OID's for all DNS records in codb 
that relate to your source IP / domain name.

It then iterates through that list of OID's, and does a change for each 
match. To "test" the script, you could remove the bit after the "|" 
character to view what its going to do before you finally run it.

Hope that helps.

Regards,
Greg

#!/bin/bash
DOMAIN=$1
FROMIP=$2
TOIP=$3

for X in `echo "find DnsRecord ipaddr=\"$FROMIP\" type=\"A\" 
domainname=\"$DOMAIN\"" |
          /usr/sausalito/bin/cceclient  | grep ^104 | cut -d " " -f 3`
do
  echo set $X ipaddr = \"$TOIP\" | /usr/sausalito/bin/cceclient
done
