Re: [cobalt-users] changing ip number

On Tue, 31 Jul 2001 20:16:01 +0100, Stephane Lucas mumbled something 
like:
>>I'm looking to change the IP of the entire raq (including virtual
>>sites), but the raqs' are quite full.

This is part of a post today from the security list, by Michael 
Stauber, that addresses this very subject:
"If you switch to new IP adresses there is an easy way to do as 
mass change:

Take a look at /etc/named/records. That file is created by the Cobalt 
GUI and 
lists all your records for all domains. You could use a good editor 
with 
search and replace function to change the IP adresses. To activate 
the 
changes just to to the GUI, click on Control Panel, DNS --> 
Parameters and 
then hit save there and save again when you're back at the Control 
Panel. 
That will distribute the changes from /etc/named/records to the 
appropriate 
DNS-files."

Hope that helps!
