Re^2: importing text to DNS...Code

Hi eosbuddy , DNS is the domain name system,whenever you are working or internet or so , you will relay on that , It has track of all the IP address in workstation etc. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol used by networked devices (clients), to obtain the parameters necessary for operation in an Internet Protocol network. And The thing is, We are changing the IP address of the workgroup. After changing , we have a text file which contains all the information about the hostname and the IP address. The problem is , I am not able to figure out some script which can , IMPORT that text file Into DNS , at the same time keeping the DHCP updated. Thanks......I m really donno how to do so...N It's bugging..

Hi ajd335, I have no doubt about the acronyms of DNS and DHCP ;-) what I wanted to know is the environment within which you want to export your text file of ip and macaddresses. i.e. when you change your systems ip, you also need to change the information on your DNS server - is this server a standard router, a computer with windows running on it or is it a unix/linux based server? If it is a linux based server, the usual DNS program (called bind or littledns or whatever), will have text files that have (for bind) extensions .db - so the solution to your problem will depend on what the system is and whether the perl scrip one writes can be portable to that system. Thanks for your clarifications.	[reply]

Hello ajd, At the outset I would like to mention that I am afraid, I am not familiar with windows server 2003 setups. Nonetheless, let me probe a little further on before I give up: Is your windows 2003 server having any control panel (like plesk) above the IIS or is it solely running IIS? Have you turned automatic DNS updates on (per this suggestion by Microsoft: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816592 )? Are you looking for a perl code that will do updates on your server (if so, is perl installed on the system - my line of reasoning is, that if the OS can do the updates automatically, it is usually the best solution).
