FW: RE: [cobalt-users] RE: DNS SCript WAS Another DNS Question -- Urgh...

[Kris Dahl <krislists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow... that wasn't that hard, just looked in my may and april list archives,
searched for Will's email and it came right up.

I didn't think it was going to be that easy at all.

So I think I will just forward it to the list.

Which leads me to think that we need better searching capabilities on the
mailing list.  I know that I have used the archives only once or twice, but
it was difficult.  I see several options, niether are mutually exclusive:
1) lets get the list listed on Geocrawler
2) Lets get htdig setup to search the archives a little better.
It would be neat is someone wanted to build a resource that takes the
'answer' post of a thread, melds it with the question and place it in a
semi-dynamic knowldegebase.  This of course would have to be hand moderated.

You can write a script to import DNS records with Cobalt UI support by
editing the text flat file /etc/named/records.  If that file is
modififed the DNS server db files can be regenerated and the name
service daemon restarted simply by running
/var/admserv/cgi-bin/.cobalt/dns/index.cgi as root.
