So the /etc/cobbler/named.template is the template file for /etc/named.conf, and the zone template files are in /etc/cobbler/zone_templates/, right? Let's say I'm using Cobbler to manage the example.com domain. I add a bunch of Cobbler systems and in particular, I use the --dns-name flag to specify the systems' domain names (e.g. websvr1.example.com). Now when I run 'cobbler sync', Cobbler will magically create named.conf, and the example.com zone file in /var/named/. However, if I manually create a /etc/cobbler/zone_templates/example.comand add some records into that file, the next time I run 'cobbler sync', the only thing that shows up in /var/named/example.com will be these manual records and *none* of the 'magic' ones like in the previous scenario. Based on my testing and what it says in this page, it seems that having an aggregated set of manual and automatic DNS records isn't possible, although it sure would be nice! Thanks for reading this far! _Khalid
