Transfer of an account, all addon domains with wrong IP

[slice16]

I have just copied over various accounts from another server.

each have many addon domains, and upon runnign a dns check, they are giving the old ip address (not the nameservers, just hte IP) is there a script that i can run to sort these out, so they update to the new IP address?

Not sure of a script - you're probably better off editing httpd.conf and fixing them by hand.

You can try this.

Login to your new server as root

cd /var/named
perl -pi.bak -e "s/oldip/newip/g" *.db
/etc/rc.d/init.d/named restart

That isn't sufficient. You should also increment the SERIAL number in the zone file whenever you change it.

thanks,

so when i incremement the serial number, do i simply add one onto it?

Yes. There's a script that might be useful for that purpose here:
