Greetings...
I'm trying to get away from the ugliness of my current setup,
which repeatedly runs h2n against a hostfile to recreate three or
four forward and about 120 in-addr.arpa zones for each modification :o)
I want to use DDNS (and already have servers configured such that
nsupdate works correctly) to avoid the usual simultaneous zonefile
access and syntax error problems. But I need (want) something
that's just a slight step up from nsupdate.
For example, I want all add requests to automagically have nxdomain prereq
set, or at least nxrrset for A records unless overridden by
a --force flag or similar. I also need it to deal with the
fact that from the point of view of nsupdate, BIND silently
ignores an update that would result in a "CNAME and OTHER data"
record. And I'd love if it would automagically maintain the
appropriate reverse PTR records.
So, basically, I need nsupdate + a few simple business rules,
preferrably with a command-line and batch-mode interface.
Is anyone aware of such a tool?
Thanks...
