Hi Thom.

they have set up a small web based front end - whenever I want to add a
domain into them I simply go over and type in my domain name, primary
nameserver, userid and password - that then sets up a secondary on my site.
I have then setup the SOA on the gui for each of those domains to include
the new nameserver and  then the RAQ does a Notify to the secondary and
Jane's yer Aunty

works well so far :-)

I believe that if you wanted to set up secondary info programmatically it
shouldn't be hard for you with your knowledge of procmail.

steps would be:

receive email in defined format from other site
parse email and pickup domain name and primary nameserver
pass info to php script (cgi)
update /etc/records with an entry thst defines the domain as a secondary
from primary nameserver
restart named

or could have web front end to do same (php prog that writes to a file -
then a cron job that checks the file every n mins and does the update -
think thats what my secondary site does)
