The following script performs search and replace for a specific IP address in a
zone. It currently opens only the first zone in the Primary Data folder, but
with minor modifications it can be used to do a global search and replace. The
script also shows how to save a document with QuickDNS Admin:

--cut here--

property thePath : "Disk:QDNS 2.1:QuickDNS Data:Primary Data:"

tell application "Finder"
set fileList to name of every file of folder thePath
end tell

tell application "QuickDNS Pro Admin"
activate
open file (thePath & item 1 of fileList)
try
set IP number of every A record of document 1 whose IP
number is "192.168.1.1" to "192.168.1.4"
on error
end try
save document 1 in file (thePath & item 1 of fileList)
close document 1

end tell

--cut here--
