Search Again: Re: Replacing a server running QDNS Central From: Men & Mice Support Date: Thursday, June 24, 2004 Time: 8:58:29 am Yes. The simplest way is to remove all of its zones, and then reconfigure it from scratch. There are a couple of AppleScripts included with QuickDNS Manager that will help you with this - "Delete All Zones From Server" and "Add Slave Server". Also, make sure you remove QuickDNS Central from the old server: sudo -s cd /Library/StartupItems/QuickDNS ./qdnsc stop perl -pi -e 's {QDNSCENTRALD=-YES-} {QDNSCENTRALD=-NO-}' QuickDNS rm -r /var/qdns /usr/sbin/qdnscentrald /Library/Receipts/QuickDNS*Central* exit ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice Customer Support Specialist Making DNS Easy At 10:20 AM -0400 6/24/04, Karl Schroll wrote: >OK, this worked great.
