Vidal" writes: +--------------- | is there a tool to manage dns a little easier? :) thanks! +--------------- The Cricket Liu book from O'Reilly on DNS has a script in it called host2dns or some such. I used to use it extensively when I managed a big site. It converts a /etc/host style file into a series of zone files. It does not help much with the config files but once you understand how those work thy are simple enough that you don't need an additional tool unless you are a bit ISP with lots of zone activity. Take a look at http://www.isc.org/view.cgi?/products/BIND/contributions.phtml for a list of pointers to more tools. chris __ Chris Fedde 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
