hosts to DNS converter
 
Hi.

We need to set up a DNS server on CentOS, and I recall from the past having a utility on HP-UX called hosts2named, which I guess was based on the h2n utility mentioned in the DNS book.
I tried doing "yum provides" for hosts2named and h2n on a vanilla install of CentOS, but it came back with nothing.
Is there anything available for CentOS?

I've installed bind with "yum install bind*".

Code:
[root@vmdns1 ~]# yum list bind*
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, refresh-packagekit, security
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
 * base: mirrors.coreix.net
 * extras: mirror.rmg.io
 * updates: mirror.rmg.io

Thanks for looking!

converting a few host file entries is pretty trivial compared to setting up the rest of the service. Can't you just pump the file through a few sed commands or such?
