[cobalt-users] Dumb Bind Question



I have never messed with bind/named files manually so I'm not sure how this would work. Figured I would ask some of the gurus...

Have a RAQ3 that runs primary DNS. I want to have a set of file(s) ready to quickly switch dns for the sites to a different IP.

Where are the zone files kept? I know /etc/named/ holds all the pri.domain.com zone files, but I'm wondering if each one has to be changed or if there is a master file like "records" that could be moved in and named restarted to regenerate the zone files.

What is the best/quickest way to switch over DNS from one IP to another on a large number of DNS zones?

Any help is appreciated.
