<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I am new to cobalt related
boxes but do know my way around a Centos box ok. I have a client that
had a BlueQuartz (BQ) box that was hacked so we have migrated it to
BlueOnyx rather than rebuild it on BQ. For the most part it went well
but for a dns issue. Ev</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">ery
time we make a dns change, named.conf gets a duplicate record for
the local host reverse lookup:<br>
<br>
<br>
zone "1/32.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {<br>
type master;<br>
file "db.1-32.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa";<br>
};<br>
<br>
there are db.1-32.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa* files that get generated :<br>
<br>
db.1-32.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa<br>
</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">db.1-32.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa~</font><br>

</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">I believe this is done
in dns_generate.pl and am going to look at it
but since it is over 1000 lines of perl I thought I would hedge my bets
and see if you knew why this might be happening. It would not hurt my
feelings to get rid of it altogether. I removed the zones from
named.conf and restarted named from the command line :<br>
service named restart and all is well until the next change and
dns_generate.pl gets called again.<br>
<br>
I deleted the zones and the db.1-32* files as well but they get
regenerated.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
