I need to migrate to a new domain w/ BIND (DNS)


i currently have a dns server that resolves about 500 hosts in domain1.com. i need to now work towards migrating all current records to domain2.com. over the next year or so, i will also need to keep these domains in sync. ie: serverA.domain1.com has the same ip address as serverA.domain2.com.

what is the best way to handle this? DNAME records??

thanks..

First you have to add in your named.conf the section about domain2.com. Then since you're going to replicate your domain1.com, just copy the zone file of domain1 to a new file that will be the zone file of domain2 and change any occurence of "domain1" in it to "domain2". You can do it automatically with sed"
Code:
sed 's/domain1/domain2/g zone.domain1 > zone.domain2
The only problem you'll have, is the reverse lookup, since you cannot have an IP address that resolves in 2 different hosts
