Change zone files en masse

[edigest]

Apologies if this is in the docs; can't find it.

I want to change zone files en masse. That is for a block of domains, for example, I want to change ns7 and ns8 to ns1 and ns2.

Is there an API or CPanel script I can leverage?

Lastly, can I directly edit /var/named/<domain>.db safely? (And is that the zone file?) In the absence of an API, I'm fine with writing a script to edit the zone files.

Hello

You could use the "replace" command to update multiple zone files and then update the serials. There is a thread on this here:

Bulk DNS Zone Update

Thank you.

Excellent! Not sure how I missed that initially, but the thread you linked to answered all of my questions.

Many thanks!
