UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

HI GUrus,

I am very mcuh new for this forum ....i need you all guys help for resolving my queries.

As i have DNS server , platform is sunsolaris----8. We are using that serevr for resolving all network nodes.

I am going to explain the process what i am following ....

I could have many zones like db.public.internet.com.


@ IN SOA public.internet.com TestDNS01.internet.com. (
200901060818
3600
300
604800
3600 )
IN NS TestDNS01.internet.com.
IN NS TestDNS02.internet.com.
IN NS TestDNS03.internet.com.
TestDNS01 IN A 10.8.5.1
TestDNS02 IN A 10.8.5.2
TestDNS03 IN A 10.8.5.3

TestDNS01, TestDNS02,TestDNS03 are my nameservers.

Node01 is switch and it's ip address 172.16.3.2 for that i will follow below mentioned steps.

i will go to concerned zones like public.internet.com.
Node01 IN A 172.16.3.2 (forward)
save the changes and increse SOA by 1

Then go to reverse file of that zone and make an entry as following.
2.3.16 IN PTR Node01.internet.com.
save the changes and increase SOA by 1 and kill the named process.

After that for verification we will do nslookup.


I wish to do above mentioned things through script . Could you pls help me out in this regard ??



Thanking you

Good dns servers will support dynamic updates somehow (man nsupdate).

We wrote scripts around nsupdate and we maintain all of our zones dynamically.

But we use a good DNS server (e.g. ISC bind).

Okies !! thanking you for your reply....ya we are also using DNS BIND server ..so maybe your script will help me out for resolving my query.........Could you pls send me out the format of your script sothat i can understand and test it in my working environment.
