mydnsimport(8) System Administrator's Manual mydnsimport(8)NAMEmydnsimport - Import zone data from external sources.
SYNOPSISmydnsimport [-a, --axfr=host] [-D, --database=dbname] [-h, --host=host‐
name] [-o, --output] [-p, --password[=password]] [-r, --replace] [-t,
--tinydns=file] [--notrim] [-u, --user=username] [-v, --verbose]
[--help] [--version] ZONE [...]
DESCRIPTIONmydnsimport imports zone data into MyDNS from an external source. If
an import technique is specified (for example, via the --axfr option),
the specified zone data will be loaded and mydnsimport will add the
zone data to your database. Currently, --axfr and --tinydns are the
only import techniques recognized.
OPTIONS-a, --axfr=hostname[:port]
Load zone information from the specified hostname via the DNS-
based AXFR command.
-o, --output
If this option is specified, mydnsimport outputs zone data in a
computer-friendly format instead of modifying the database.
Each line of output consists of a line type (soa, rr, or ptr)
followed by multiple fields. Fields within each line are sepa‐
rated by the TAB (ASCII 0x09) character. See LINE SYNTAX,
below.
-r, --replace
When importing, if the zone specified already exists, mydnsim‐
port will refuse to make changes to the database unless this
flag is provided. When this flag is provided, if the zone
already exists, its SOA record will be updated (from the exter‐
nal source), all resource records for that zone are purged, and
a new set of resource records is loaded from the external
source.
--notrim
Normally the zone origin is removed from labels when importing,
in order to save space in the database. In other words,
host.example.com. becomes just host. Using the --notrim option
inhibits this behavior.
-D, --database=dbname
Use the database called dbname.
-h, --host=hostname
Connect to database server at hostname.
-p, --pass=password
Supply password when connecting to the database server. If the
password argument is omitted, it will be prompted on the tty.
-t, --tinydns=file
Load zone information from the specified file, which is in
tinydns-data format. When importing from a tinydns data file,
zone may be omitted from the command line, in which case all
zones found in the file are imported.
-u, --user=username
Use username when connecting to the database server.
-v, --verbose
Enable verbose output while running.
--help Display program help and exit.
--version
Output version number and exit.
LINE SYNTAX
When started with the -o (--output) option, mydnsimport outputs lines
in the following format:
SOA "soa" <TAB> origin <TAB> ns <TAB> mbox <TAB> serial <TAB>
refresh <TAB> retry <TAB> expire <TAB> minimum <TAB> ttl
RR "rr" <TAB> name <TAB> type <TAB> data <TAB> aux <TAB> ttl
PTR "ptr" <TAB> address <TAB> name <TAB> ttl
