BIND 8.3.1 Question (Converting Slave to Master)

[luis.guzman at us.socgen.com]

Hello All:

      We're running BIND 8.3.1 on Solaris 8.  Current the server pulls as a
secondary for multiple domains.  What I'd like to do is (if all primaries
were to fail) convert that server as a master for all the domains for which
it pulls as a secondary.  Does anyone have suggestions for the simplest
ways to accomplish this?  Can i somehow configure it to be master for all
(SOA for multiple domains)???  For the conversion to master i see several
tasks so far i will have to perform:

1 - Add the SOA headers to all the secondary Zone files
2 - reload a new named.conf with master entries for the Zone which I've
just converted above

My intention is to automate these tasks via a shell script.  All
suggestions/comments are greatly appreciated :)

Thanks in Advance,

Luis
