Or the "Add Slave > Server" script? Sorry Chris -- been swamped with tedium and didn't get back to this. No, the scripts failed running in 1.8.3. Heck, even the nice canned 'change IP' script I live and die by on these massive manuvers failed to run completely. It ran ok on a AS 1.7 machine, but not on the normal admin system running AS 1.8.3. Would get through a list of IPs that matched, change three of them in a zone, but stumble and error out on the last IP. Was always the last record with a matching IP in a table. Run the script again and it would go right through the record properly, but stumble on the next zone with more than one match for that IP. I got through it and manually altered all records necessary -- and hopefully will be moving up to newer versions of QDNS in the future so won't have to sweat this again. thx for the effort.
