The serial # is only relevant to each zone, that is how multiple DNS servers know who has the most recent copy of the zone.<br />
<br />
Will all these zones point to the same place or are they all different?

I use a macro program to do repetitve tasks like that. I also use it to transfer transaction info to an as400.

Hi,<br />
I need to create 200 Zones for Bind DNS and are looking for a fast way to do this.<br />
Is there something that can assist to do this quick?<br />
<br />
I also have a real newby question, I wonder about the serial number since it is set to a date and on 200 Zones I theoretically have 200 duplicate serials if I make them all on the same day.<br />
<br />
I would just use nano to make each zone and then enter it into the named.conf file but I wonder if there is something that allows me to cut some work and generate them.<br />
I thought to make a mail-merge using word but if I do this then I still have the serial number question that confuses me a bit<br />
<br />
Any tip on this would be very welcome<br />
<br />
Best wishes,<br />

The term 'shell' refers to a general class of text-based command interpreters most often associated with the UNIX and Linux operating systems. Popular shells include Bourne, Debian Almquist (dash), Korn (ksh), Bourne Again (bash) and the C shell family (csh). Some view the DOS 'cmd' prompt as a minimal shell of sorts. It is also possible to install Cygwin on Windows and emulate a full Unix environment with complete shell capabilities. Terminal emulators, such as xterm, GNOME Terminal and OS X Terminal, can be used to access shell.

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.
