    Hello :)

    I suggest using the IP Migration Wizard, found at:

    "WHM >> IP Functions >> IP Migration Wizard"

    It will update your server’s configuration files, including DNS Zones. Full documentation on this feature can be found at:

    IP Migration Wizard

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    You can use replace command to change IP in DNS Zone files.

    root@server [~]# cd /var/named/
    root@server [~]# replace "Old IP" "New IP" -- *.db
    root@server [~]# service named restart

    With the help of above mentioned command, you can change the IPs in DNS Zone in a bulk and to make them effective, you need to restart the named service.

    Hello :)

    The replace command can be useful, but please note you will need to manually update the serials in the zones afterward. The "IP Migration Wizard" will complete this for you automatically.

    Thank you.
