Re: [cobalt-developers] reverse-DNS

[Jörg Jan Münter <support@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Michael,

quite simple: as the Cobalt-Tools don't work with our subnet-reverse-DNS i set
up a little script that runs on our secondary DNS. It checks whether the
correct settings for secondary DNS are in /etc/named.conf. If not it fixes
this file and restarts the bind. This is necessary because everytime we do
changes in the cobalt-surface the correct reverse-settings get smashed.
So my little program does NOT touch the /etc/named/records-file which is
the main DNS-Database of the RaQ. And in worst case condition the reverse
lookup on our secondary will work correctly after 1 hour max.

So grep, awk or sed might be your friends on this topic, it's really simple.
Just find out how your ISP wnats you to name up your reverse-zone.

I think because of it's simplicity this solution is better better than modifying
the Cobalt-Scripts. And those modifications may get lost after updating the UI.
And if you don't need it anymore, just kill the cron-job.

Yours
Jan*
