Colin,
It is very easy actually. I wrote a dnsImport script that should work
just fine for you. This assumes you used my installer from
www.nuonce.net/bq-cd.php
This example pretends "example.com" is my Domain name (zone)
#1 - Take the zone file and copy it to another folder.
mkdir -p /home/dns
cd /etc/named
cp db.example.com /home/dns
#2 - Remove the configuration from the GUI. Delete the secondary DNS.
#3 - Via the CLI (Shell, as Root), run this command
dnsImport.pl /home/dns
If all goes well, you should see all of the entires being put in.
Now, if you have 50 domains, copy all 50 zone files to /home/dns, and
remove all 50 from the secondary dns GUI. Then run that same command!
It is perfect for importing zone files.
Thanks,
Brian
