The way to make the necessary change in QuickDNS is, open the zone options for the zone. You will see some way to set the master server IP address for the slave server. (The method used varies between versions of QuickDNS.) However, this can be tedious and error-prone if you have more than a handful of zones. Luckily, there's a simple shell command to make the change - this will work on any Unix-type server OS that has perl installed. Step 1: Navigate to the "zoneopt" directory. On Mac OS X, this is /var/named/conf/zoneopt, and you can navigate there as follows: cd /var/named/conf/zoneopt Step 2: Execute this command with root privileges (filling in the appropriate old and new IP addresses) (on Mac OS X, gain root privileges by prefixing the command with "sudo"): perl -pi -e 's {old address} {new address}' * Step 3: Restart the DNS service. On Mac OS X, this can be done as follows: sudo qdnscontrol stopnamed startnamed ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy At 11:44 AM +0200 7/31/03, Andreas Carlsson wrote: >Hello list! > >As some of you remember we recently switched IP on our servers.
