We will soon be moving our Cobalt RaQ2 onto a new network with new IP
address and new host/domainname.
The RaQ2 stores all DNS record in /etc/named/records and uses a script
/usr/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt/dns/index.cgi to parse the file and build
the
zone files used by DNS which are the pri* files in /etc/named/. I'd
suggest
backing up the records file, then editing it and running the script.
c) brief checklist to ensure we don't miss anything out! :)
You may want to change the TTL settings in the zone files so that
servers
that respect TTL will check back more frequently to check if the DNS
records
have changed. In the RaQ2 I believe you'll either have to edit all of
the
pri* files manually to make that change (yes, somewhat cumbersome) or
you'll
have to first edit the script I'd advised you run to change the TTL
(and any
other SOA variables you need to change, consult a DNS reference) before
running the script.
Hope that gets you started.
