dnsImport.pl v2.0

When Sun introduced the RaQ550, Jeff Bilicki was nice enough to provide a way to move DNS from older RaQs to the RaQ550. The biggest problem though, it was unable to move RaQ550 => RaQ550. That is where this script comes into play. It is designed to move RaQ 4, 550, TLAS => Blue Quartz!

dnsImport was orginally written by Jeff Bilicki to migrate RaQ 4 DNS to a RaQ 550. It would not allow you to import from a RaQ 550 => RaQ 550 though. NuOnce knew it was well past time to offer a solution to do just this, and expand it beyond!

dnsImport.pl has been rewritten too allow you to do just that! But more! Now you can migrate from a wider array of server platforms!

Import from:
  • Cobalt RaQ 4
  • Cobalt RaQ 550
  • First Light Network's Argon TLAS Server
  • Another Blue Quartz Server

  • This is beta software. To the best of my knowledge it is functional. It may not function for you though. It does require that you have cmuTools already loaded! dnsImport.pl is not warranted free from defects!

    How Do I import? A step by step how to.

    • On the old server, you need to archive your zone files.

    *** Please note, your zone files may not be in /etc/named. You may need to look for them

    • FTP the /named.tgz to your new server
    • Create a directory and expand your archive

    • Download dnsImport.pl from NuOnce Networks

    • Rename & Chmod dnsImport to work

    • Run dnsImport.pl against your zone files

    If you have reverse lookups, it won't change it's SOA records. You will need to go in there and manually do it. It also has problems with duplicate entries. So, please check your DNS records!
