Guys, We've got an ancient internal DNS setup which is based on old C binary which builds the forward and reverse maps and stuffs them into DNS using the old 'kill -HUP ' method.
This is now borked because of Dynamic DNS updates from various AD servers which provide DNS to laptops. So when our script updates the SOA serial number, it pulls the one out of the file, but that's invariably wrong because the SOA serial has been steadily incrementing due to DDNS updates. Fun. We don't want to upgrade the system right now, because it's alot of legacy untangling to do, so that will be a longer term project. So before I spend my time writing a script to do all this for me, I was hoping that someone else already had a script which: a) uses nsupdate to change DNS b) worked off a NIS format hosts file c) worked with RCS (yup, stone ages!) controlled file d) command line oriented of course. My google foo, and old saved sage-members archives haven't been much help. Some people talked about using Lucent's QIP product, etc. Which isn't a bad idea, but more than I want right now. Pointers to scripts would be ideal. And I know that it's the error handling and corner cases which will screw me over and take the time to write. The joy of programming. 90% of the code is error and bounds checking... Thanks, John -- _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
