Search Again: Re: Importing/exchanging secondary server data files From: Men & Mice Support Date: Sunday, March 4, 2001 Time: 10:30:15 pm As has been pointed out, there is an easier way in version 2. And in version 3.5, we'll have AppleScript support for this - both for generating a list of zones to "import" and for configuring the slave server for those zones (i.e. performing the "import" operation). If you have a large number of zones to add to your secondary server, contact our support department <mailto:support@menandmice.com> for assistance in automating the process. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
