in reply to importing text to DNS...Code

Apologies need further information: what do you mean by DNS and DHCP (is this a windows system or a *nix) - are these text files residing somewhere? Or are these bind .db files that you want updated for localhost? Please clarify by cutting pasting relevant files. Thanks.

    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.
        Hi Eosbuddy, I am really sorry for that. The DNS program is running on Windows 2003. If further information needed please tell me..Cz the problem is bugging me ....
