Actually, now that we've brought back AppleScript support (in the 3.5 beta), changing large quantities of records is not really a problem. We'll be including a number of handy scripts with QuickDNS Manager 3.5 for Mac OS 8/9/X. If you have any requests, please let me know off-list; we'd like to include any and all generally useful, technically feasible scripts that we can. Currently, we have: Find & Replace Hostname (changes SOA, NS, MX, CNAME, and SRV record data) Find & Replace IP Address Change Subnet Add Slave Server (configures a slave server, optionally adds NS records) Add record to all zones $Generate (similar to the BIND directive of the same name) Export Server Configuration Import Server Configuration Of course, for any more specific needs, you can use these scripts we'll be including as starting points. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com We Make DNS Easy!
