Re: [Puppet Users] DNS Zone serial numbers

I cannot figure out a good way to do this with puppet. Any thoughts? Either a ridiculous erb template or a relatively simple custom function would do the trick, though either way you'll have to write some Ruby. -- Daniel Maher « makin' plans now to live on Mars 'cuz I got Earth on lock. » -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.

Re: [Puppet Users] DNS Zone serial numbers
I'd just write a custom script in the language of your choice, put it on the server, and use the generate() function to pull the data. Since it doesn't need to run on the client this should make things simpler.

Hope that helps a bit (from the DNS point of view), and I cannot really give you a good answer from the Puppet-point-of-view. the puppet problem is if you generate the serial you should only generate it if the content of the rest of the file changes, this is pretty hard without a type/provider. I have some code to increment serials the way you want with mmddxx but dont have an immediate answer to how to use that without writing a type -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Puppet Users group.
