Re: OT: Managing DNS via a browser
I've never seen one available, except for in one of those prefab ISP control panels that are out there. When I tested the beta of www.UltraDNS.com, it had an excellent zone editor in CF, much better than W2K MMC. Don't know about now.

RE: OT: Managing DNS via a browser
Ok, I need to rephrase my question. Is there a tool that will allow me to manage my own DNS through a browser? I am running Win2k and I am using MS DNS. I don't have an answer for you about an existing web interface, but I suspect that if you're running Win2K DNS, you could build your own pretty easily using the appropriate COM interface. Most management functionality is exposed on Win2K through interfaces like ADSI. I suspect that Win2K DNS can be manipulated through ADSI or WMI, although I don't know the specifics. I'm not using Win2K DNS myself. There is also a utility within the Windows 2000 Support Tools called dnscmd.exe, which lets you manipulate your Win2K DNS. The Support Tools come on the Win2K CD. You should be able to automate this pretty easily with CFEXECUTE. Good luck!

Re: OT: Managing DNS via a browser
I've never seen one available, except for in one of those prefab ISP control panels that are out there. Never seen one in CF though. The zone file are just individual text files though. Go to C:\winnt\system32\dns and open up a couple of the .dns files. It's not to hard to figure out what is different between them. The thing is that the file has to be perfect, line breaks and all. Also necessary is a registry key which is the domain name, and one the keys is the name of the zone file. The other keys I cant remember off the top of my head because I overdid it last night :-/, but a little cffile and cfregistry action is all that is needed. After the zone file and the reg keys are written just cfexecute a little stop start dns server script and that's it. jon Clint Tredway wrote: Ok, I need to rephrase my question.

Re: OT: Managing DNS via a browser
You're unlikely to find anything canned to do somehting like that. If you run BIND on Windows, your configuration files will be simple text files, so modifying them with CFFILE is very simple. Go to www.isc.org to download BIND 8.2.5 or BIND 9 binaries for NT. To do what you need, you'll just modify the BIND configuration file, then create or modify a zone master file. Afterwards, you run a command-line EXE that reloads the DNS data. This command-line tool is included in the BIND for NT distributions. If you need a simple manual web interface, it's pretty simple to create one in CF that lets you browse and edit these same files. You need to understand the format and syntax of the underlying files, however.

I plan to plugin subscription services like everyone.net into the admin toolkit for the community site network. (although I should set up my own email services right Howie?) so if I understand what I want to do correctly, the DNS management can be handled with a very simple user interface. ie turn Service on - turn service off. (and then on the backend we determine what the entries are going to be). I wish I had a little extra time these days.

I know of acompany that created a typical boilerplate that they use for client hosting and they use CF to fill in the proper values. One other thing - if you're using Bind on Windows then the service needs to be restarted for the changes to take affect. We have a freeware service control cfx if you need it.
