Bulk DNS insert

[e0xbr]

Hello

I have CPANEL + CentOS

I need to multiple insert a NS record and a A record on all DNS Zones. I have a lot of zones, and to insert one by one is out of question...

How can I do that with cpanel?


Thanks!

Hello e0xbr,

Are you actually adding a record to all zones or changing an existing record in all zones? If you are adding a record, you could do the following:

cp -R /var/named /var/named.bak110713
cd /var/named
for x in `cat /etc/trueuserdomains | cut -d: -f1` ; do echo "$x. 86400 IN NS ns#.domain.com." >> /var/named/$x.db ; done
for x in `cat /etc/trueuserdomains | cut -d: -f1` ; do echo "ns#.$x. 14400 IN A IP#" >> /var/named/$x.db ; done

Please replace ns#.domain.com. with the actual nameserver name and please replace IP# with the actual IP number. Do not replace the other details.

After doing the above, you'd want to follow the details in this forum thread on updating the serials for the zones:

If anything goes wrong, you will always have /var/named.bak110713 to use to restore the prior working zones.

Thanks.

What if i need to add multiple a-records to one dns name, what is the best way to do that?

Please specify exactly what needs added to what. You mention multiple A records with different IPs, but you aren't providing enough information on why each would need a different IP. The issue here is that if you need 50 different IPs for each different zone, you are probably better off doing it manually period.
