Modifying Mixed Case Mid-level Domain Names to be all Lower Case
Is there a way using nsupdate to change a $origin directive in a zone file? Some months ago, I accidentally loaded a configuration in to a DHCP server that registered a bunch of private-network hosts having a domain name of WiFi-ATRC.osu. We really wanted wifi-atrc.osu. Bind worked properly and placed $origin directives in the osu zone. Since dig builds the FQDN out of these, all names in that domain end in WiFi-ATRC.osu which confuses members of our group when they look at a zone file for any reason. Is there a way to make bind rewrite those $origin directives using nsupdate or any other safe control means? This certainly does not effect resolution but scripts that do various things can sometimes get confused by the Mixed-case names. I would be really happy if there was a way in bind9.5 to force all names to lower case. I realize that the bodies of .TXT records must preserve their case, but the names, themselves, ignore case so let's have them all lower case.

It's not an attribute of a zone, so you cannot change it directly. When BIND writes zone files, it uses $origin to group records that share a common base name. Just "update delete/add" all records and the mixed case $origin disappears.

That is kind of what I thought about doing but I wasn't completely sure if I was not missing something so that is what I will do. Thank you.

You may want to fix them anyway.
