- I would like to see if anyone has developed a front end for maintaining
- resource records that named uses, particularly for sites that have many
- hosts.
-
- What we do is maintain a file in hosts.txt format (RFC 952), which is
- sucked in nightly by a bunch of scripts which produce files with the
- records. This has been working fine for several years, but it is less
- than forgiving for typos, error checking illegal addresses, etc.
- I think this method is fine if you don't have many hosts, but we are
- now approaching several thousand hosts.
-
- I would like to find some type of user friendly front end where one
- could input the DNS info, do some error checking, and have the resource
- record files automagically generated.
-
- Any info would be greatly appreciated!
-
- Thanks
- Gary
