supposed I have a lot of DNS entries with a NS record being xxx.yyy.ccc.com (under records) . and on the Zone page the NS record is also xxx.yyy.ccc.com if I want to change all the records to point to a new name server - is there a way to doing a mass change instead of changing them one at a time?
Change it in the database with a decent SQL query and then run a resync for the DNS zones and records under Tools > Resync.
any enlightening instructions? what table? just one? how do I affect just the records that have NS9 in them?
Example: Open the ISPConfig database (usually dbispconfig) through phpMyAdmin or on the commandline by logging in and then running: Code: USE dbispconfig; Update the NS records (eventually run this multiple times when you want to multiple nameservers, e.g. ns1 becomes ns3 and ns2 becomes ns4: Code: UPDATE dns_rr SET data = "nsnew.example.com." WHERE data = "nsold.example.com." AND type = "NS"; and for the zones (just once with the hostname of the main nameserver): Code: UPDATE dns_soa SET ns = "nsnew.example.com." WHERE ns = "nsold.example.com.";
