NAME

dnsvi - Edit dynamic DNS zones using vi

SYNOPSIS

dnsvi [ -igl ] [ -k keyfile ] [ -p port ] [ @ nameserver ] zone

DESCRIPTION

dnsvi is a frontend for nsupdate . Given a DNS zone name, it uses dig -t AXFR to get all the records in a zone. It then spawns your favorite editor, and upon completion, builds a list of " update add " and " update delete " statements to feed to nsupdate.

OPTIONS

-i --noidnout

If you are updating a punycode domain and you are using bind9 >= 9.14.0, you need to specify -i to be able to update the zone, otherwise there will be a mix of punycode and non-punycode domains which nsupdate will refuse.

-l

Use localhost as nameserver and pass -l (local) to nsupdate .

-k keyfile

Use keyfile for AXFR and nsupdate .

-g

Use Kerberos credentials for nsupdate . See -g in nsupdate (1) for details.

-p port

Use port for AXFR and nsupdate (default: 53).

@ nameserver

Query nameserver for zone data and send updates there.

ENVIRONMENT

EDITOR

Editor to use instead of sensible-editor .

$ dnsvi -k dyn.df7cb.de.key @ns.df7cb.de dyn.df7cb.de
