Question BIND question
Suppose you had a bunch of domains registered with names following the scheme, 11example.com 22example.com 33example.com etc. These domains are all for virutal webhosting, and will have the same web servers with the same IPs on all of them.

The question is, because they're 2nd level domains, is there any easy way to template the addresses in BIND, or am I going to have to have a separate /etc/named.conf entry for each domain? I tried putting them all in a 'zone "com" IN {}' and of course that broke pretty much everything else.

Thanks,
-V

you can use different file for every domain
in named.conf

Code:
include "/etc/namedb/master.conf";

i use this script to make what i have to include
you can modify to use different files for each domain

cat genmaster

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

opendir D, "/etc/namedb/master/" or die 'anyad';
close STDOUT;
open STDOUT, ">/etc/namedb/master.conf";

while ($f=readdir(D)) {
        if ($f =~ /^db\./) {
        $f =~ s/^db\.//;
print <<EOF
zone "$f" {
     type master;
     file "master/db.$f";
};
EOF
        }
}

close STDOUT;
closedir D;

secondary
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl


opendir D, "/etc/namedb/master/" or die 'anyad';
while ($f=readdir(D)) {
        if ($f =~ /^db\./) {
        $f =~ s/^db\.//;
print <<EOF
zone "$f" {
        type slave;
        file "slave/bak.$f";
        masters {
                195.228.157.214;
        };
};
EOF
        }
}
close STDOUT;
closedir D;

u can use it genslave >slave.conf
then u have a slave.conf file, what you can include on slave szervers

thats all
