I'm more concerned with the conversion from BIND 8. Well, I performed a quick-n-dirty conversion in about 15 minutes by grepping all of the domains for which we were the master server out of the named.conf file and using a simple shell script to run axfr-get for each of those domains. Then I cat'd (catted?) those files together, ran 'sort -u' on it and ran tinydns-data on the result. Voila! I also through together a Python script to clean it up and organize it a bit. That made it a bit easier to maintain. That provided a useable server, but we're working on a way to manage it all from a sql database with a CGI frontend. Ben -- Ben Beuchler There is no spoon.
