Subject: [9fans] ndb/tozone
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2009 22:09:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1002241f7588fb48c0d741878c151295@quanstro.net> (raw)

i need to push my zones to a site that accepts
only bind zones.

for some strange reason i thought it would be
easier write a program to do the conversion from
ndb file than to keep doing it by hand.

i was wrong.

but for very interesting reasons.  it's interesting
to note that a.b.example.com and example.com
may be in the same zone.  this would be like allowing
'/' in file names.  it's impossible to know
without first knowing the complete set of soa
records.

isn't that fun!

anyway, i pushed the results out as a contrib:
quanstro/tozone.  you will need to modify
/sys/src/cmd/ndb/mkfile by hand to complile
the source yourself.

enjoy.
