dig axfr <zonelist> | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | awk '$4 == "CNAME" && $5 == "myserver."' With perl you could collaps the tr and awk commands into one command. If you have a really large zone list you could put it in a file and have named read it. dig axfr -f zonelist | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' | awk '$4 == "CNAME" && $5 == "myserve."' Note: this does not cover CNAME -> CNAME. Mark -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
