[BlueOnyx:07252] Re: DNS Script ?

[Richard Morgan]

Hi Dan

I agree with you; it's not difficult but it's one more place that automation could kick in.

Solarspeed have a script for importing secondary DNS records and another for clearing all DNS data.  I once fiddled with these to see if I could get a command line script to delete all DNS, download a text file of IP address and domain names from the primary and use it to build the secondary DNS.

I didn't get very far because one of the machines used was a production system and I feared breaking it.

I still think the idea has merit, if you want to take on a challenge :o)

  LOL, its not difficult.   The hosting customer does not have access to the second box and it's one of those petty little maintenance tasks that could be automated and eliminated.  I thought perhaps someone on this list had already done so but maybe I am the first to consider it.   We have also had the case of someone mistyping the domain name on the secondary DNS service. 

  Thanks Jeff !!     Dan.

The complete zone file is transferred to the secondary dns server (as long as you have given permission to the IP address in the primary server).
