Not to pick on you in particular, Travis, as much to make a general point: you say you have a "large" number of domains, and I'd be curious as to the order of magnitude, just to get the big picture. just under 900 zone files, including reverse zones. Managing by hand is a PITA

Hi All, This is a rather odd question, and I'm not even sure that it is possible, but I'll give it a try. I need to figure out a way to maintain a session through a NAT box when the client changes the IP address. So, the situation looks like this: Clients--> iptables/NAT

Without wasting too much effort, can't you just put a few objects in your new directory and then try to change it's domain to yet a third unused domain and see what happens? It sounds doable, but I wouldn't try doing something like that without a dry run first. -N > Hi All, > > This is a simple

Well. I have to say, Ben's discussion of DNS was truly enlightening. I learned a lot about DNS -- there were things I hadn't known that I now do, and things I thought I knew, that I now know I didn't. In other words, it was a good discussion. For those who weren't in attendance, though, it's di
