Is there an easy way to convert a large /etc/hosts file to the format required for /etc/named.db automatically or do we just use one of the text processing tools. Does anyone have any scripts written ? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Patrick Collins - Comms Design Officer email : pc012@seqeb.gov.au The South East Queensland Electricity Board phone : +61 7 223 5237 2 Bowen Bridge Rd, Fortitude Valley, 4006 fax : +61 7 223 5059 Queensland, Australia (Best State, Best Country) -------------------------------------------------------------------------
