Hi I was trying to get the $generate directive to work like so
11 IN PTR 14.cool.com.
....
30 IN PTR 33.cool.com.
$GENERATE 11-30 ${3,0,d} PTR $.COOL.COM.
I've read the manual here
http://www.bind9.net/manual/bind/9.3.2/Bv9ARM.ch06.html#id2566761---
Syntax: $GENERATE range lhs [ttl] [class] type rhs [ comment ]
lhs describes the owner name of the resource records to be created. Any single
$ symbols within the lhs side are replaced by the iterator value. To get a $ in
the output you need to escape the $ using a backslash \, e.g. \$. The $ may
optionally be followed by modifiers which change the offset from the iterator,
field width and base. Modifiers are introduced by a { immediately following the
$ as ${offset[,width[,base]]}. e.g. ${-20,3,d} which subtracts 20 from the
current value, prints the result as a decimal in a zero padded field of with 3.
Available output forms are decimal (d), octal (o) and hexadecimal (x or X for
uppercase). The default modifier is ${0,0,d}. If the lhs is not absolute, the
current $ORIGIN is appended to the name.
For compatibility with earlier versions $$ is still recognized a indicating a
literal $ in the output.
---
The tricky part is ${3,0,d} waas not working. I bumped into a site that stated
$GENERATE range rhs type lhs
I then tried $GENERATE 11-30 $ PTR ${3,0,d}.COOL.COM. and this worked.
Hopefully this will help somebody.
Anybody here have the ability to update the manual?
