Automatic Secondary NS

in that case, are there any tools that will make the changes?
Once I finish my current project, I'm going to start writing something (been
on my todo list for a while) .. but if theres something out there, or if
someone has a script they've already written...
I plan on using expect a bunch, unless someone else can beat me over the
head with something else (please! I hate expect).
It's a fairly obvious kind of thing - working at an ISP, whenever add a
domain, we have to update the secondary. It would be much nicer if there
was one tool that would update both for provisioning.
Todd.

Nope.

How would the secondary find out that they are now supposed to
serve as a nameserver for the domain?!?
There is absolutely no way around the fact that you *MUST* make
configuration changes on the secondary, in order to inform them that
they should now serve DNS for the domain in question. Period.
